Template:AR Land Intro

Land and property records can 1) place an ancestor in a particular location, 2) provide economic information, 3) reveal family relationships and more. Land records include: deeds, abstracts and indexes, mortgages, leases, grants and land patents.

After land was transferred to private ownership, subsequent transactions were usually recorded at the county courthouse and where records are currently housed. See Arkansas Land and Property for more about online collections and early Arkansas land grants.
