Surnames: Hale Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/1061 Message Board Post: I have a copy of the homestead record of Moses Hale from 1848. The land he purchased was in Township 4N, Range 1W, Section 36, Aliquot Parts W1/2NE and NENE, 4th PM-1831 MN/WI Meridian. I am trying to figure out just where this is located. Has anyone had any experience in translating this type of land description into latitude and longitude? I would like to know where this land is located. Just need a little direction in where to turn for the assistance. Any help will be most appreciated. Donn Dancer
