Products Available
Jim has launched a line of three new products called From the Penns to the Present. The products enable property owners to learn the history of their land in the form of a book, album or frame. The book and album include a narrative (along with images of key documents and maps produced with DeedMapper software) tracing a property in Beidler’s home base of Pennsylvania from the Penn family in Colonial times to current day, while the framed product puts together a photograph of an early land record with a simplified deed chain surrounded by a frame and matting with an antique look.
