Finding the Deed Indexes and Libraries

Today, Nicole and Diana discuss Nicole's genealogical "treasure hunt" at the Love County Courthouse in Marietta, Oklahoma, where she uncovered land records for her Harris family ancestors. Nicole shares her preparation process, including calling the courthouse and using RandyMajors.org to map out locations. She recounts her journey to the courthouse and how she became oriented with the deed books and indexes. Listeners will learn about Nicole's first discovery of records for her second-great-grandfather, Dock Harris, and his wife Allie, as well as additional records found for Dock and J.R. Defoor. The discussion then moves to Nicole's successful search for John C. Harris's land purchase and the oil and gas records found for Arza Harris, John's second wife. Nicole also shares additional discoveries for other family members and important protocol lessons learned during her research trip.
