Not that I knew about it before but here's a note I've just downloaded from Ancestry.com. On a quick look there is a KNIBB and a NIBBS in California and KNIBBS in Illinois. bfn Alan The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), General Land Office (GLO) Records Automation Web site is back up and running after a court order shut down Department of Interior sites back in early December. The site contains two million Federal land title records for Eastern Public Land States, issued between 1820 and 1908 (with images of the patents available). Additional records issued between 1908 and the mid-1960s are also being added. Information contained in these records can be used to order more extensive records from the National Archives.
