Land records (especially deeds) often give the name of a spouse, heir, other relatives, or other clues to help research. They often have other clues for further research, such as witnesses or the other parties who may be relatives or in-laws.

Land records include: deeds, abstracts and indexes, mortgages, leases, grants and land patents. After land was transferred to private ownership, deeds were usually recorded at the county courthouse. See Washington Land and Property for additional information.
