Passing this on. I don't know details other than what you read below or go to the website. This is a crock! In my personal opinion!! The one we have been using is this one and I suppose the below writing affects that site. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov it ain't workin' now. gf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The U.S. Department of the Interior, has been directed by court order to disconnect all databases that allow access to "individual Indian trust data". Since the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is under the directive of the DOI, it has been disconnected, along with some other vital databases. You can read the DOI memos concerning the court orders at http//www.doi.gov/ Below are more links if you are interested in the latest news about the court order disconnecting the DOI's databases, including our favorite Land Patent Search at the Bureau of Land Management. Briefly, the databases that seem to be affected are Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Bureau of Reclamations (BOR) Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) Minerals Management Services (MMS) National Parks Service (NPS) another favorite!
