A couple of really great sites I got from the AZ Genealogical Soc. list. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haas/land/index.html An essay about taking the mystery out of land records. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haas/learningcenter/patentlocations.html Where to obtain land patents. Both articles were written by Linda Haas Davenport and have a great deal of useful information in them. Bette
