Coming this Spring: Atlas of Warrantee Maps of Dauphin County

Ancestor Tracks is currently transcribing the warrantee maps for Dauphin County that were completed by the PA Land Office which are located in the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg. We hope to have the atlas completed in May, along with a CD containing full-size copies of all of the warrantee maps. If you wish to conduct research in the early land records of the county, and if your ancestor was actually a first landowner in the county, purchasing his or her property from the colony or state of Pennsylvania, details regarding these tracts will probably be found in the Warrant Register and Patent Register on file at the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg and available on CD from Ancestor Tracks. They are also posted online at http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/landrec.htm. For researchers of later landowners, Robert L. Maley has posted images of The Combination Atlas Map of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania Compiled, Drawn and Published From Personal Examinations and Surveys By Everts & Stewart (Philadelphia:1875) as well as a consolidated index to the maps. This can be used with the 1870 and 1880 census records. Wonderful job, Robert!
