Most southern Ontario townships are divided into strips of land, called '''''concessions''''', which run from one border of the township to the other. Each concession includes farm lots of 100 or 200 acres. Lot 1 in the First Concession joins Lot 1 in the Second Concession, which in turn joins Lot 1 in the Third, as shown below. As you search the land records, record the concession and lot number of your ancestor's land. | Most southern Ontario townships are divided into strips of land, called '''''concessions''''', which run from one border of the township to the other.
