Program Description

Event Details

Whether your home is 15 years old or 150 years old, tracing its history and that of the property it sits on is easy because all Maryland land records are online and free.  In this presentation you'll learn how to navigate several online websites where you can find property information including SDAT, MERLIN, MDLandRecs, MHIP, Tracey Land Index, and Plats.net.  The presenter will show how to start with the most current information and move back through time to the earliest patents for the land, on the way to discovering the people who called that property home.  There will be discussion about the terms used in the records, how to read a deed, and how to map the land from the deed description.  Please sign up online or call 301-824-7722.
