Required reading for those who don't use deeds

Among its many other offerings, the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center has a blog. Recently librarian Dawne Slater-Putt, CG, contributed a two-part post, "Digging into Deed Records," full of examples of genealogical information of all kinds that can be found in deeds -- and in some cases can only be found there.

IMO -- she didn't put it this way at all! -- genealogists who don't use this readily available record type are cheating themselves, and quite possibly creating their own brick walls.

This is great advice! Many genealogists don't recognize the possibilities in deeds so every nudge helps. I've added two examples on my blog (with a link back here) at http://bluegrassandbuckeyeroots.blogspot.com/2011/06/tuesdays-tip-deeds-can-yield-genealogy.html
