  • place of birth

  • citizenship

  • military service

  • court information

  • parents, siblings, and/or heir information

These government documents may generate more questions about your ancestor than answer the questions you already had. Many of the records, depending on the time period and type of land record, will also have court documents that should be hunted down at the local county courthouse.
