520    "Property title deeds are perhaps the most numerous 
       sources of historical evidence but also one of the most 
       neglected. While the information any one deed contains can
       often be reduced to a few lines, it can be of critical 
       importance for family and local historians. Nat Alcock's 
       handbook aims to help the growing army of enthusiastic 
       researchers to use the evidence of these documents, 
       without burying them in legal technicalities. It also 
       reveals how fascinating and rewarding they can be once 
       their history, language and purpose are understood. A 
       sequence of concise, accessible chapters explains why they
       are so useful, where they can be found and how the 
       evidence they provide can be extracted and applied. Family
       historians will find they reveal family, social and 
       financial relationships and local historians can discover 
       from them so much about land ownership, field and place 
       names, the history of buildings and the expansion of towns
       and cities. They also bring our ancestors into view in the
       fullness of life, not just at birth, marriage and death, 
       and provide more rounded pictures of the members of a 
       family tree." -- Amazon.com
