After months of being down, the Bureau of Land Management's Official Federal Land Patent Records Site is back online (3/20/2002). The website is www.glorecords.blm.gov This site provides live access to Federal land conveyance records for the Public Land States. It also provides image access to more than two million Federal land title records for Eastern Public Land States, issued between 1820 and 1908. Images of Serial patents (land titles issued between 1908 and the mid-1960's) are currently being added to this web site. Due to organization of documents in the GLO collection, this site does not currently contain every Federal title record issued for the Public Land States. New Features! New Look! Easier to Use! In response to your comments and suggestions, we've redesigned our site and added several new features. Improvements include: faster loading pages; simpler site navigation; a streamlined search page for beginners; more data fields to search; a printer-friendly results list page; an easier shopping cart; and much more. Search Federal Land Patents Databases This site offers researchers a source of information on the initial transfer of land titles from the Federal government to individuals. In addition to verifying title transfer, this information will allow the researcher to associate an individual (Patentee, Assignee, Warrantee, Widow, or Heir) with a specific location (Legal Land Description) and time (Issue Date). Obtain Certified Copies of Land Patents With our on-line shopping cart, users may request certified copies of land patents electronically or through the mail. To search for land patents, click on Search Land Patents on the menu near the top of the page. A series of pages will guide you through viewing and ordering land patents.
