LAND SALES RECORDS

PETERSON NEAL

When you have the same names on two consecutive records but different record dates, should I record the second record ?

All of the projects that I have worked on actually address this question in the instructions. The instructions are not always the same so you need to check for your specific batch. If you share your project name and batch code a more specific answer could be given.

Read both the project instructions and the field helps for the date fields.

Hope this helps

This is the instruction from US, New York, Chautauqua—Index to Land Records, Grantors, 1881–1910 [Part A]:

• Sometimes multiple transactions by the same grantor were recorded on a document, each with a different event date. Index each transaction as a separate entry in the data entry area in the order that the transactions appear on the document.
