I got this post from another mailing list. I found my ggggUncle's Land Grant in Washington. He was from Bradford Co., PA Hope this helps someone! Mike Wennin Come Visit the Cameron County Genealogy Project! www.pa-roots.com/cameron The Bureau of Land Management has revamped its site and uploaded a nearly-complete database of its holdings -- data related to all land grants in public land states in the US. Most of the entries contain FREE downloadable images of the original documents! So your grampaw didn't go to a public land state -- betcha someone kin to him did! <g> Enjoy: www.glorecords.blm.gov/
