ONTARIO ARCHIVES COMPUTERIZED LAND RECORDS INDEX The Index consists of two alphabetical listings: (2) by township or town. They give researchers a fast and efficient means to search land records in the Archives of Ontario, trace initial land grants, and exploit fully a valuable source of data reflecting the patterns of Ontario settlement. The information is derived from three groups of records: 1) the Crown Lands Papers (F..G.I), 2) the Canada Company Papers (C.C.), and 3) the Peter Robinson Papers (MS-12). It refers only to the original alienation of land resulting in a deed or patent. The Index to Land Patents is not incorporated into this system, and must be used separately, also available at the Archives. Any conveyances made after issue of patent are registered in the local Registry Office. The data range from the 1780s to the beginning of World War I, from the grants to the United Empire Loyalists to those for the veterans of the Boer War. Only a few entries of sales of Clergy Reserves and Canada Company lands go beyond that period. Each listing contains 236,747 entries.
