It is here that you start for locating details of your ancestral property. Ancestral land might be spread over a number of villages. You must gather names of all villages. You must be aware of names of your ancestors of that period. Else, you must find out names of your grandfather and your forefathers and if possible names of their brothers and sisters. It will be easy if you could get old land records available to any of your family members.After gathering the above information, you may visit Tahsildar office ( or Taluka Inspector of Land Records - TILR) and inspect the entire land records of that village. If the land records of your village are available from any oldest date, you have to search land record from that date. You can identify the land details from names of ancestors from the Record of Rights. You can cross verify these details from Tax Register, Heirship Cases Register which indicate the name(s) of deceased landholder and his heirs, who are your ancestors in lien. Cross verification is required since a village must have many persons with same name & surname.On the other hand, if you know the land details such as survey number, sheet number, Khasra number, village etc., you can search such records from the Online Land Rerecord of the state concerned. If you are not successful in online process, you can file RTI Application to the PIO in Tahsildar Office and seek information through R.T.I.
