Kathy, The original land warrants are held by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commisssion, Pensylvania State Archives division. The web page that will give you information on ordering records is http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/genie1.htm When I ordered some land warrants a few years ago they insisted that you first order a search of the name you want information for, and you HAD to use their form. My first letter of inquiry was returned with a copy of their form enclosed! The search cost $3 then, but more now. All this required the exchange of several snail mails at that time. Now you can download their order form by scrolling down the above web page to Mail Reference and click on the link provided there. After they send you the results of the name search, you can order any land applications, warrants, surveys and patents they found in their search (for more money, of course). Hope this helps.

LARRY, This is a real rip-off. You are right, they want $ 15.00 to do a name search, even though I aleady know the name, the Warrant number and now the date. I guess I will forgo this item.

The LDS have the Pennsylvania Land Office info. on microfilm accessible through their Family History Centers. They have the indexes, too. Look on www.familysearch.org in their library catalogue under Pennsylvania - Land and Property. You can also find a Family History Center near you on the same site. It's a lot cheaper that way :-) Linda Hansen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Wells" <rebeltrumpet@sbcglobal.net> To: <PAHUNTIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 1:04 PM Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] Re: Land Warrants > LARRY, > This is a real rip-off.
