Grantee, Grantor, Et Uxor: Deciphering Deeds in Western PA

Deeds are a go-to resource when we want to research land ownership, but they can be used to flesh out so much more of our family trees. A careful look at land records can shed light on marriages, family relationships, deaths, and even help differentiate between people who share the same name.  We’ll learn how to find and navigate deed records and take an analytical look – reading past the property description –   to squeeze out all the possible genealogical information. 

Our presenter:  Margaret Hewitt is the Manager of Reference Services for the Heinz History Center Detre Library and Archives.
