The are both from the same land office. The first is this: 1 E½NW 5TH PM No 9N 26W 5 The next two records are another persons: 1 E½SE 5TH PM No 1N 21W 7 2 W½SW 5TH PM No 1N 21W 8 The second record is definitely my family and the first has the same surname, but I'm not sure if it is our family. I'm trying to determine if they are in the same area. Thanks so much for your help!
