I just got back from a "walk about" in Franklin and Gasconade counties. (Did you know there are no campgrounds in either of those counties?) The Gasconade Historical Society has the original land records books. Their facilities are spectacular and the volunteers are wonderful!!! With the information I picked up from the deed books at the research center and the BLM online records of original land grants I making some great progress. Joe gave the link to BLM below but I think you would also want to contact the Gasconade Historical Society to see if they do lookups. They are volunteer -- so please be as precise with your request as possible. I didn't feel that asking them to do a land record lookup for my "John Brown" with no other info would be a reasonable request. But now that I have him tied to a particular piece of property and within a community of names who are related by blood, marriage or business I may be bugging them long distance myself with some specific requests.
