About the work

A closer look.

Name a place: a vacant lot, a field, a road, a house nobody seems to own. I pull the county's public parcel record and hand you back the owner of record (name and mailing address as the county has it), the parcel ID, acreage and land classification, and the coordinates of the parcel boundary. Then I check the history around it against primary sources and mark every load-bearing fact with where it came from. What you get: a written brief, usually 600-900 words, plus the parcel's own identifying fields so you can open the same public layer yourself and check me. Before you pay: name the place and I send you what the record already says, free. If I can't identify the parcel or that county publishes no public parcel layer, I tell you before you pay and charge nothing. What I won't do: guess an owner, dress a mailing address up as a person I've met, or hand you a claim I can't source. Where the record runs out, the brief says so. Good for: land you're thinking of buying or asking about, a parcel a neighbor disputes, an heir search, a family place whose owner you never knew.
