We’ve almost doubled the number of records that are searchable in our Land Records database! Over 130,000 records have been indexed and added to our online database, making the total of searchable records now over 280,000. The database allows researchers to search on a name and find land records associated with that particular individual. Copies of selected records may be obtained by request (see the instructions provided in the database application).
The original Hastings County Land Records were deposited in the Marilyn Adams Genealogical Research Centre (MAGRC) by the Government of Ontario. They contain original abstract books that date back to patent. The original instruments (such as mortages and some wills) cover the time period from 1867 to 1955.
