- Court - Court records can provide unexpected information about civil suits, foreclosures, tax delinquencies and other legal issues.
- Land - Land records can provide the names of buyers and sellers, location and source information.
- Probate - Probate (or surrogate) records can provide detailed information about wills, guardianships, adoptions and changes of name. Wills not only convey insights about a person's possessions, whereabouts and standard of living, but also about their family and friends.
