Thanks to all who replied to my message inre finding location of Township/Range in Louisiana. As to the word "Aliquot", it finally dawned on me to try a dictionary and here is what I found: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One entry found for aliquot. Main Entry: al·i·quot Pronunciation: 'a-l&-"kwät, -kw&t Function: adjective Etymology: Medieval Latin aliquotus, from Latin aliquot some, several, from alius other + quot how many -- more at ELSE, QUOTE Date: 1570 1 : contained an exact number of times in something else -- used of a divisor or part <5 is an aliquot part of 15> <an aliquot portion of a solution> 2 : FRACTIONAL <an aliquot part of invested capital> - aliquot noun ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems to me in the land record it means "Fractional Parts".
