Search Fold3 | Abstract Indexes to Deeds to Land in Upper Canada (Canada West, Ontario)
Ontario Land RecordsGenealogy in Ontario: Searching the records by Brenda Dougall Merriman Abstract Indexes to DeedsThe Abstract Indexes to Deeds are the indexed record of every transaction on a plot of land from Crown ownership to the present day. Abstract Indexes were created 1865-1866 according to new legislation and were retroactive to the patent on a property, meaning they went back to when the land was first owned by the Crown before it was sold or granted to individuals.Using the Abstract Indexes to Deeds you can check for every instance of your name of interest on that parcel of land. By referring to the date and Instrument Number found with each transaction, you can look up the complete record. You may find a will (Many wills are filed in the Land Records Offices) or other important genealogical information or document. See the example and explanation of the Abstract Indexes to Deeds for Concession 4, Lot 12, Puslinch Township, Wellington County Ontario. Click on image for larger graphic.  Looking at the second from the bottom entry dated 1904 you can see a list of the children of Frederick Broeckel and a notation that he is deceased. If you did not know when Frederick Broeckel died, or the names of his children, this would be a very nice genealogy find. Once you have found that enty in the Abstract Index to Deeds, you can order the full record to see what other genealogy details might be found. Simply refer to the Book Number, Instrument Number and date to order the full record. In this case it is Book I16, Instrument #8243, 1 May 1904. Notice that there is an earlier entry dated 13 Jan. 1903 for Frederick Broeckel and it is called Probate to Will. Sending for the full record would no doubt include Frederick's will.
Where to Find Abstract Indexes to DeedsAbstract Indexes to Deeds are arranged by Township and catalogued in the Land, Municipal and Church Records Microfilm section of the Main Reading Room card catalogue of the Ontario Archives The records of Land Registry Offices (LROs) document transactions relating to privately owned land.

In cases where the Land Registry Office has transferred original records to the Archives or to a local institution, the Land Registry Office should have copies of those records on microfilm.
