Doris Denton mentioned the Government Land Office, Bureau of Land Management website, which is ... www.glorecords.blm.gov ... Sorry, but so far I have not found a Western States similar site. Maybe someone else will offer a solution. As to the clarity of the printed Land Patents, mine printed off on the top half of a normal page, and all of the handwriting was very clear. Then I enlarged the size on the computer, and it was even better. I think they are stored digitally (lots of memory space), and they should print very well. Mike Cavenaugh
