I have just learned of a land patent records web site created by the Bureau of Land Management. It has a data base and image access to over 2 million federal land title records issued between 1820-1908 for the states of: AL, AR, FL, IL, IN, LA, MI, MN, MS, MO, OH and WI. You can actually see and print an image of the record itself or order a certified copy of the record if you want. The web address is www.glorecords.blm.gov It is a great site! Karen Starkey Burke, VA
