Hi All: New one for me so I thought I would share in the event someone was not aware of it. Bureau of Land Management site. Found many of my LONG ancestors (actually my daughter found info) in Illinois by counties where they all bought or received land grants on the same day......... Ties them all together in 1840. Virginia was not a state in the index. Anyone know why not?? Happy Hunting: Bob Long http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/imaging/image.asp?accession=IL4010%5F%5F%2E182&f ormat=s&page=1">
