Early Sauk County Land Records Webinar

Land records are often one of the overlooked resources when doing genealogy or researching people. Besides telling where a person lived or what property they owned, land records can contain valuable information such as the name of a spouse and where a party was living when they made a purchase or sale of a piece of property.  They can also be helpful in finding the names of children and heirs after the death of a property owner.

Land records can be daunting, however, when it comes to legal descriptions and types of conveyance like quit claim deeds versus warranty deeds. An online webinar on early Sauk County land records was held on Thursday, May 6 at 7 pm.  Property descriptions, grantor and grantee records, plat maps, mortgage records and other items related to land records were discussed along with a question-and-answer period. Click the play button above on the video to view the presentation.
