If your ancestor owned real property, you should search for at least the following records: record of acquisition: a deed of purchase, patent, inheritance, etc. payment of property taxes: do that or lose it. record of disposal: deed of sale, will, foreclosure, tax sale, etc. In the United States these are county-level records. Knowing your ancestor owned property is not enough–those records may provide more information.
