I am starting off another work week by transcribing a document that is important to my family research. Today I will transcribe the Warranty Deed that was granted by land owner Roy F. Beery and Belle O. Beery (husband and wife) to my paternal great-grandfather, William C. Johnson for a parcel of land in Kent, King COunty, Washington. This exchange was made for the sum of $1.00. I have yet to learn of the connection between Mr. Beery and my great-grandfather. It will be interesting to find out someday why Beery sold this land and whatever buildings it had on it to William for such a small amount.
Amanuensis Monday is a weekly blog theme that was started by John Newmark, the author of TransylvanianDutch blog. John defines Amanuensis as "A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another." I also appreciate the good work and format examples of San Diego genealogist Randy Seaver of the blog Genea-musings. Thanks guys.
I hope that working through transcribing documents that are important to my family's history will help to to recall the fine details they contain. I have a tendency to gloss over important bits of information in my excitement of the find.
This is a form is a fully typed record and I am sure a transcription of the original. Any fields that are left blank on the original will also be left blank on the transcription. If I make any comments these will show with square brackets [ ].
