Mesquite Historical & Genealogical Society Meeting

January 9 @ 6:30 pm 8:00 pm

Speaker: Sara Cochran

Topic: Using State and Federal Deed Records

Our speaker, Sara Cochran, will speak to us on the value of using State and Federal deed records in
genealogical research. Land records can be genealogical goldmines, even if your ancestor wasn’t
the deed holder. We start with an overview of how land transferred from the government to private
hands and between individuals. Then consider the power of land records to answer genealogical
questions, and look at tips for finding and using these records. Includes a live look at Full-Text
Search.

Meet and greet at 6:00 pm with short business meeting at 6:30 pm then the program. The meeting is free to all but you must register in advance.
