Inheritance, Land and Tax Records[edit | edit source]

Record types include wills, inventories, distribution of estates, property transfers and can be used to identify family relationships.

Records begin in some areas in 1500 and may include names of individuals, their parents, children and grandchildren, dates, relationships, sometimes places of events, race, civil status, clan affiliations, land holders’ and renters’ names, taxes and rent paid, dates of land transfer, residence, land descriptions, fathers’ names and sometimes names of several generations of ancestors; date and mode of land acquisition (from a parent or grandparent, by dowry, or division).

These records may be found at the National Archives, local courts and municipal archives, and The British Library in London.
