I have now found out the exact death date of my 3ggranmother Martha Maria Williams from the land entry records from the National Archives. She died 28 Nov 1905. Her mailing address was Durham although her land was in the middle between Crawford and Durham. I have not been able to find her in any of the cemeteries yet but now that I have her death date and her mailing address I have new hope. Does anyone have access to newspaper files? I have seen there was a Day County Progress at the time of her death. Thank you, Rochelle in the Sierra Foothills

This summer I received wonderful information on how the track land records of ancestors. I would like to share it in case there are others who do not know the process. 1. I knew about the BLM on-line site where you can search for the land patents. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ If you can find your ancestor on this site you can print the land patent and send it directly to the National Archives for copies of the land entry records along w/the Archives order form. 2. If you can not find the land patent at BLM, you may go to Southwest Oklahoma Genalogical Society. http://www.sirinet.net/~lgarris/swogs/tract.html SWOG searches the records and will send a copy of the page where your ancestors land is recorded. With the patent number you can go to the National Archives for copies of the land entry files. Even though I found the land patent on the BLM site I am so glad I ordered the page from SWOG. I found neighbors listed and recogized several names. 3. You can order the forms from the Archives on-line. http://www.nara.gov/research/ordering/ordrfrms.html I found out so much valuable information from the land entry records...exact death date of my 3ggrandmother, where all the children were living when she died, a copy of her will etc. Mine was possibly an unusual case where my 3ggrandmother had died before completion of the time to be on the land.
