The index includes names mentioned in the American State Papers: Land Grants and Claims. The name Lejeune appears 22 times and Lejune 2 times. I have first names and can give you volume and page for them but there is no summary. This information is on line here http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lwsplink.html#anchor8 But not easy to wade through John -----Original Message----- From: acadian-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:acadian-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of André-Carl Vachon Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 10:27 AM To: acadian@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ACADIAN] Grassroot of America Hello John, In this index, do you have the Lejeune family?
