I found that old deeds can hold information that is valuable.  In Vermont, a deed stated that 'the grantee was the son of the grantor' .   This was valuable to me as I could not locate a birth or death record for my ancestor.  I only knew that he was my gg grandfather.   Now I have searched back to 1668.
