I copied the full link and paste it in a word doc. Then, remove the < and change the page to Landscape. This gives you the full link. It is especally nice because when I saved the web page to a pdf all of the link to the web pages still work. And, I was able to increase the size to 200% making it easier to read. That is when I realized I don't have any idea what is on the form. When you say it say It it tells where it is filed? Is there a section of the court house in Westmoreland that has all these documents? I am new at reseaching PA, Hopefully, you will bear with while learn.

Now I understand. Say you found someone you think is your relative on a Warrant Register page, note under the Survey Column, where it says, Survey Copied To, note down the numbers there. Could look something like: B-1-34 or B1 34. Survey Book B-1 page 34 is what it is showing. Go to back to the page where you found the Warrant Registers link. Chose the link for Copied Survey Books. Find which column shows your book number. Choose that link. Once there, chose the book number with the page number. That will show you what the tract of land looked like. It can be tricky but once you get the hang of it, it will be very rewarding. Under the column that says Where Recorded, note the Volume, Number, and Page. These are trickier but you would go back to the main page where you found the link for the Warrant Registers, but choose the Patent Registers Link. You will have to really study that page. Leave that for tomorrow. :] Marie. -----Original Message----- From: pawestmo-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pawestmo-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Deloris Girard Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2012 7:50 PM To: pawestmo@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PAWESTMO] Westmoreland Map I copied the full link and paste it in a word doc.
