Hello, Noticed your interesting post about your EUFINGER family. The Texas General Land Office can provide you copies of whatever documents it has on the land certificate transfer. The website is: www.glo.state.tx.us/ I obtained the following from this website: For questions about land grant records or any of the GLO historical programs, contact the Archives & Records Division at 512-463-5277. For specific questions about land titles before 1836, contact Galen Greaser at 512-463-5270. The Archives Research Room is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM until 6:00 PM (CST). Texas General Land Office 1700 North Congress Avenue Archives and Records Division Austin, Texas 78701-1495 In general I can tell you that people receiving land grants from the State of Texas were not awarded land in a specific place. In your case, apparently EUFINGER was entitled to 640 acres -- and then it would have been up to him to locate the specific 640 he wanted (assuming it was still available) and apply for a patent. It was quite common to transfer land certificates -- but this did not mean that title to a specific tract of land was being transferred. Only the "right" to X acres was being transferred. Good luck with your search, Sara in Houston
