Online Land Record Collections
Always check Free Public Records Search Directory to help lead you to courthouses etc. that make land records available online. In some cases they charge a (sometimes very large) fee but in other cases whole record sets have been digitized and may be viewed for free. Sometimes these images have indexes, sometimes not.
