Recently some counties even have the tax records/land records on the web. You can look most of them up by the address or tax plot number. I was surprised how much information was there, available from the internet.
Is the white pages of the local phone book a good place to find the office you would need to call if you wanted to go look at some of the old deed books? I was doing some genealogy research one time and there were specific hours that they allowed researchers. I would imagine that each county is different.
Good info, Aunt Bonnie!
