Judy, Thank you so very much for sharing this URL on land management. I have found a wealth of information on 5-6 of my families. It is wonderful to have all of you who are so knowledgeable about genealogy to share with the rest of us. Keep up the good work. gretta ----- Original Message ----- From: "W & J Germann" <wgermann@flinthills.com> To: <MOMARIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 8:36 PM Subject: [MOMARIES] Re: Maries Co. info request > Dear Mel, > > The BLM land management records show Hiram C.
