Researching Land Ownership Through the Library of Michigan
Adam Oster
Land ownership is an underutilized, yet invaluable, tool for uncovering information about your family’s history. Learn about the boundary system where property was divided and organized throughout Michigan’s history. See examples of print and digital resources (e.g., plats, directories, Sanborn maps) that help you uncover the footsteps of their ancestors. The program will open with Midland Genealogical Society reports, with the presentation to follow. No registration required.
This program will take place on the main floor, adjacent to the Midland (Genealogy and Local History) Room.
