Dear V. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and share. Everything you have said makes a lot of sense. I appreciate the ideas. Now to the research!! Can I ask, how did you find the John R. Hudson record? Did you do it off the www.glorecords.blm.gov site? I found where I could check the lands with the next or previous file #, but was having difficulty finding geographical neighbors. I'm going to send for the land case file too. Again, thanks for your imput, I appreciate this forum and the sharing of experiences and ideas...Thank You! :) Shantell ________________________________________________________________ Juno Platinum $9.95.
