Pennsylvania. Board of Property. ''Board of Property Papers, 1682-1850''. {{FHL|8571|item}} (On 19 films beginning with 988274.) These loose papers involving land disputes are mostly in chronological order. They can contain valuable genealogical and historical information. There is no index to these records, but some of the documents have been extracted in Pennsylvania Archives, series 3, vols. 1. (1681-1739, 1765-1791) and 2 (1792-1795). (see [[Pennsylvania Genealogy|Pennsylvania Genealogy]]). {{FHL|481905|item}} book 974.8 A39p ser. 3, vol. 1 and 2 and film 824426 items 1-2. There are documents on the films that are not in the books and visa-versa, so both books and films should be used together. The indexes in the books may be used to access the records on the films with a little bit of searching. For example, finding a name in the book index may lead to records in the films covering the same time period. The books contain mistakes. | Pennsylvania. Board of Property.
