Home District Land Claims 1803 & 1804 - Corrections to Canadiana.org Faulty Content List Part 2
HD 1140 Image 392
Canadiana.Org
has digitized 21 films of the Heir & Devisee Commission Papers
(Heir & Devisee Commission papers 1797-1854, found in their Heritage
Collection), and that's a good thing for genealogists. These records have valuable and informative genealogical documents. But as mentioned
in a previous blog post Heir & Devisee Commission 1797-1854 on Canadiana.org - Listing Errors and a Workaround, the index and description of what is in each film, as provided on Canadiana.org, is incorrect. I have
been going through those digitized records to create a working corrected
Finding Aid. You may view the corrected content lists on Olive Tree Genealogy website at Heir & Devisee Commission
While scrolling through microfilm H 1140 in
order to correct Canadiana.org's flawed content description, I came
across a set of Land Certificates and other documents from individuals
living in what was called the Home District. This consisted of land along Lake Ontario and the Niagara region of Ontario.
Images 250–253 is the index to claimant names.
These images have lists of names of claimants. Note that often it is
the attorney's name on the index and not the petitioner or claimant. The
claimants' names can be viewed in my list below. Please also note that
I cannot guarantee my interpretation of the names in these documents.
The writing is often difficult to read or the image is blurry.
