Some of you are still looking for your ancestors that lived in Ohio ca 1820. In an effort to identify some of these earlier residents, I ran a search for KEIM/K-ME/and K-MES in Ohio on the Bureau of Land Management site at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ There weren't very many listed in the database, but BLM only has about 40% of the land patents issued for the years between 1820 - 1908 listed on their site. Perhaps this list will help some of you. NOTE: the date given is the date they signed; not the date they settled on the land.
