Due to the lack of vital records for Pennsylvania, land records are an important tool in early Pennsylvania research. Land records will list the seller and purchaser of the property and may hide clues to family connections. Land records for Lebanon County are available from the recorder's office for 1813 to the present.


 * On-line images are available for 1956 to the present. A fee is required to view the on-line records.
 * Deeds, 1813-1850 ; Index to Grantees and Grantors, 1813-1932
