Only for knowing where to look. The township keeps some local records; deeds go to the county recorder or register of deeds; court records are at the county. Investigators plan searches around that structure.

A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.

Often. Locate work combines records research with field verification, wherever the trail leads. Moves along Interstate 80 and connecting highways are common, and investigations are coordinated across state lines with appropriately licensed detectives.
