    1. [HAM] william hamilton

    3. I know this list has alot of experienced researchers so I have a question. I have found that William Hamilton has land that I obtained from the Glo.gov land web site. My question according to their instructions, the only valid genealogy information available upon request is if the person got a military land grant otherwise land was bought and no real information is available. How do I know if it was a military land grant or is there a way to tell? As we all know looking for military records for a William Hamilton is easier said than done. Any suggestion is appreciated, because I know this list has some well seasoned researchers and worn out shoes. If he was born about 1790 it is possible he served in the war of 1812. I'm just not sure what steps to take or do I just send in requests and take a chance. Thanks Pat

    3. Did you take a look at the online image of the land deed? Sometimes they put the place the person was residing on the top line along with the name. If your William Hamilton's land is in Illinois, you will find at the IL archives a very good land listing that tells what kind of land grant it was. Also, I think, if I am remembering correctly the blm site tells if it was a land purchase or military grant. sharon pkcb113@bellsouth.net wrote: >I know this list has alot of experienced researchers so I have a question.
