I am sorry if my first query was not as detailed, but I felt it would be too much info and even more confusing to understand. I had already ordered the complete Bounty Land Warrant Application Files and the Bounty Land Warrant files from the National Archives using Forms 80, 84. These files provided me with the information that: 1. my ancestors assigned their Bounty Land Warrants 2. the states of Missouri and Iowa was where the land was located and patented 3. the Township, Range, and Section locations within the above states. The only thing they do not provide me with are the Patent Numbers for the properties. Once receiving the information from the National Archives, the first thing I did was search the BLM~GLO online database, http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ The MO patents I am looking for are not online, and there are no records for IA available online at this point. The $2.00 fee for a copy form the BLM~GLO, is only if the record is found online. If not, the following applies per an email from an employee at the Eastern States BLM: "We have the info (land patents) that you are searching for. However, we require advance payment for our services ($2.00 for each automated record, $15.25 if not automated). Most military warrants are not yet automated." Just to let everyone know, not all of the records that the Eastern States GLO has is available to view online. The site indicates that there are over 2 Million of them, but as mentioned above, most military warrants are not yet automated. So if you find your patent online be thankful. Unfortunately, none of the ones I need are automated yet. So it would cost $15.25 to find out any more from the BLM. If anyone has ordered a Patent that involved Military Bounty Land Warrants, and if the original Military Bounty Land Warrant was sold to an assignee, could you please let me know what the Patent you received read. Did it mention the original Military Warantee, the person who served in the military? I really appreciate everyone that tried to help answer my original query!! Thanks, Debbie
