I have just received the following from Cyndi of Cyndi's List and the ROOTS-L mail list. U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Eastern States 7450 Boston Boulevard Springfield, Virginia 22153 Press Release For Release Immediately Contact: Terry Lewis (703) 440-1712 General Land Office Records Web Site Reconnected in BLM-Eastern States The Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States announced that its General Land Office (GLO) Records Web site is now back on line at www.glorecords.blm.gov. Title companies, historians, genealogists, and other interested people can now once again obtain millions of historic land title records from the thirty Public Land States (those States not included in the original 13 Colonies), East and West, dating back to the 1780s. These fascinating and valuable records include homesteads, patents, military warrants, and railroad grants. To date more than 4.2 million records have been scanned and imaged since the project began in 1989. This Web site provides a wealth of historical data and literally tells the story of the settlement of the West. "The GLO Records Web site is one of the most popular Web sites at the Department of the Interior. The Web site offers customers the ability to easily research and query the GLO database by name, land description, and county, and view and print these historic documents from their homes or offices, saving them time and money," said BLM-Eastern States Director Mike Nedd.
