| Wednesday, November 4, 2026 | 19:00 | NFHS Event - Deeds and Land records for family and house history research. By Sarah Pettyfer. - This talk takes a journey into the world of deeds- documents that may seem dry at first glance but can be treasure troves of history. These records not only help us trace the ownership of land and houses, but also open windows into the lives, relationships, and communities of the past. Landholding isn’t just about property -it’s about power, wealth, inheritance, and identity. Whether your ancestors were lords of the manor or humble tenants, the type of landholding shaped their lives and left behind a paper trail we can follow to enhance and enrich our ancestors’ lives and the properties in which they lived. | NFHS ZOOM TALK - Free for members.
