By now most of you have heard this but for those who have not........ The Eastern States BLM has all of the PATENTS / LAND CASEFILES on-line. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ It is a very interesting site and if you had people in AL, MS, LA, AR, & others you may be there a while. Not only will you find a land description but you can get a copy (tif file) of the actual document..........on line! Check it out, Jean
