WikiProject New York Progress Chart  Tasks - Land and Property: Cyndi’s List

Description
To locate pertinent land records databases on Cyndi's List and add them to the Land and Property heading.

Instructions
1. To locate available land and deed records, go to http://www.cyndislist.com and click on “Categories.” On the Categories page, select New York which is under the heading “United States.” Select “Counties” and then the appropriate County. Choose “Land” from the “Category Index” on the County page.

2. If there is no "Land" listed under the county, there is nothing available on Cyndi's List and you are now done with the task.

3. If there is a "Land" title listed, click on the link and assess the links. If you believe.

3. If you locate any databases that apply, list the databases under the Land and Property heading in chronological and then alphabetical order in the following manner:


 * :*1804-1824 - Livsey, Karen E. Western New York Land Transactions, 1804-1824. Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1991. Digital version at Ancestry ($).

4. From the list to the right of the webpage Ancestry.com (AncestryInstitution.com), click on the county you are working on. Land and estate are hidden under, "Tax, Criminal, Land &amp; Wills". There are not very many land records online so there may not be any listed for your county.

5. If there are any land and deed records databases for this county on Ancestry, list the databases under the Land and Property heading in chronological and then alphabetical order using the example in number 3.

6. You can list any other helpful info about the database after the $ in the entry (such as, not complete, index only, etc.).

7. If there are dates listed in the title of the database, repeat the dates just after the bullet in bold. Make sure to use the N–dash between the dates and anytime it is used in wiki text. The N–dash is made by holding the alt key and typing 0150
