Show notes

The rectangular survey method and the numbered lots method are two other ways to learn where to find your ancestor's property on a map using an old land ownership document. The rectangular method was used by the federal government for the sale or homesteading of federal lands, while the numbered lots method was used in established neighborhoods, usually in towns and cities.

This is why you should do as many oral histories as you can, and how to best preserve them for future generations of your unique family.
