Hello: I have been trying to discover an index of US land patents and grants for Iowa, but with no luck. The BLM web site is wonderful, but it has no Iowa land patents!! Does anyone know of an accessible index for patents in Fremont Co that I browse through? I am hoping that my Catletts and Irons ancestors may have homesteaded land from the US government for which I could order the archived homestead files from the US Archives. Thanks John ********************************************** Searching the following families: Catlett, Irons, Fetters, Christensen, Metcalf, LaRue, Eck & Davenport. John C. E.
