== General Overview ==
Land deeds may provide wonderful information. They may assist researchers in the following ways:
* Migration Pattern
** Sometimes, land deeds provide the only proof of family connections or where someone migrated from or to. Many times individuals would purchase property in a county and/or state prior to moving. The place of residence is recorded on the land deed.
* Married names of daughters and or wife's name
** When a married man sells his property, his wife must be included in the deed.
** When a married daughter receives land or purchases land from a father or widowed mother, the daughter's married name with her husband's name is included.
* Generation connections
** Many times there are quit deeds filed near the time of death of a parent. Often times, the quit deed includes all the names of the heirs and their places of residence.
