About this webinar
This case study traces a piece of property for two hundred years, from the Native Americans to the Dutch, to the English, and through fourteen members of the Hicks family over five generations. Transfer of title occurs through various instruments, including patents, unrecorded deeds, inheritance, escheatment, private laws, entails, deeds of lease and release, life estates, and coverture. Tracing the lineage of the property elucidates family relationships that were otherwise forgotten.
This class is presented live at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City as part of the Joy Reisinger Memorial Lecture Series and is being broadcasted by Legacy Family Tree Webinars.

Thank you for information about New Netherlands land distribution.
Good example of why you need a lawyer involved in land transactions! LOL!
Well done!! Destroyed records makes tracing land ownership so difficult. Glad you got lucky with those donated papers! Thank you for making this available to us!
Shannon rocks! Very well researched and presented.
Very useful.
Very knowledgeable speaker. Very clear and overall great presentation
Land records can be very difficult to find and understand. Shannon did a wonderful job of showing us how she traced complicated land records for this Hicks family. Her visuals were wonderful and she was wonderful in explaining what had happened to the land as she went along..
Very well presented
