Dwooddon 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 I am a relative Newby having had TMG a long time but not having had the time to get deeply into its capabilities. I have a number of ancestors who bought and sold land with some frequency. Which tag type would you recommend I use for entering deeds for land when it was not a residence?

Karla Huebner 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2005 You might also look at Teresa Ghee Elliott's web page, where she posts various useful tags and sentences. It is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery or somewhere accessible from there. She does a lot of work with deeds, but also posts contributions by other users.

furby 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 I have never used this forum previously. I have a question. What do you do when the family moved onto a piece of land and we cannot find a land patent or bill of sale. The family was then killed by Indians (War of 1812) leaving only my ancestor who escaped on foot. The area is now a historical site. I would like to peg my records to this site but am doing it with a MISC tag. Any better ideas?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karla Huebner 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 Well, most of the time I have no evidence of purchase (or at most, hearsay or a letter that someone bought a place). I have a tag called Moved that is useful for recording someone arriving at a place. It makes a change from Residence, at least. Karla I have never used this forum previously. I have a question.
