Ron Gibson is a former US Marine and Viet Nam veteran, currently working as a professional consultant having over 47 years of experience on the subjects of Land Patents, Mining Law, Right of Way, Water Rights, Contracts, and Constitutional Law.  Ron has several gold and industrial mineral projects in the western US. He currently serves as Vice President of the South West Oregon Mining Association and is the chairman of the Jefferson Mining District located in southern Oregon.  Ron loves history, and has a lifelong experience in cattle and horses which have also served him well in his land operations and tackling many of the issues facing rural America today.  Ron also teaches classes on Constitutional law, Mining law and Land patents. He says that deeds to land demonstrate an event in time, (similar to a Birth Certificate) whereas a Land Patent/Grant is the root title to the land; the foundation for all land titles held throughout the world; a contract possessing continuing obligations.

• 1st option Contact a Title Company   to create an Abstract of title. 
• 2nd option Try to Do it yourself and Research back to the Land Patent, Starting with Online records or going down to your counties land recording office and looking on their computers, or ask them to help you and show you how to work there system for your research needs. 1st Start from your Name on your  Deed ,  then from whom you bought it from , then from whom they bought it from and so on all the way back to the Land patent. 
• Writing down all dates, document numbers, book and page numbers.

Minnesota Counties

If your in a Plat, search the records for the plat, that plat will have a List of recorded documents under the plat, for plat changes, it is helpful to look at the plat map, as that will tell you what the plat was before the new plat, and so on.  Once you reach a dead end, you may have to go to the archive records next or there was a foreclosure, tax sale, death, plat change or some other event in which you might need to start your research from the land patent and go forward using the meets and bounds descriptions to link your chain up to where you left off.  See Below explanations of meets and bounds.  This can get very confusing. (Note... Meets and bounds are read backwards)  

• Seller Name to Buyer Name and the date of the sale (not the date recorded). 
• Make note of Each Document # for each deed; the older entries will be a Book and Page Number. You will need these numbers to request Certified Copies of each Deed from the county recorder.  Typical cost is $10.00 for a certified copy.
• Note:  you want ownership transfer documents, they wont all necessarily be Deeds, there may be ownership thru a divorce decree, a will, or trust, etc. Include those transfer documents if that is how the transfer took place.
