Great site here .. even found a COCKSHUTT :-) U.S. Department of the Interior - Bureau Of Land Management ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- The Official Federal Land Patent Records Site Welcome to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), General Land Office (GLO) Records Automation web site. We provide live database access to Federal land conveyance records for the Public Land States. Image access is provided to more than two million Federal land title records for Eastern Public Land States, issued between 1820 and 1908. Images of Serial patents, issued between 1908 and the mid-1960's are currently being added to this web site. Due to organization of documents in the GLO collection, this web site does not currently contain every Federal title record issued for the listed states. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/search/search.asp Cheers Jane www.janelachs.de Excuse cross-postings

Another tip to add to Jane's URL: Once you have a land desc, go back to the Search Land Patent page, enter only the sec number and twp number (with state and county), and you'll see which other families owned adjoining or adjacent property. Cheers, Ellen Jane Lachs wrote: > >
