DeedMapper is a computer program for researching deeds, grants and surveys. It provides three "views" of deed information: text view for deed entry, plot view for deed map, and table view for a summary list. The program is offered by Direct Line Software, <http://www.ultranet.com/~deeds>. Direct Line offers computer maps compatible with the program; these maps show as backgrounds to parcels which can be placed in their proper positions. You may also use topo maps from various sources. There is a Rootsweb mail list for users of this software: [log in to unmask] The members of this list are very knowledgeable and helpful.
