Subject: [OHVANWER-L] Land patents
Thanks to an item in Anne Arundel Speaks, I learned that General Land Office
Records now are available at <
http://www.glorecords.blm.gov> for 11 states:
Alabama,
Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri,
Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
I tried Ohio and found my grandfather's name, but think it is another man with
the same name. My trial was to see how the system works. I downloaded a TIF
copy of the patent, free! A certified copy is available for $1.50. This is
the same information I found on a CD that I purchased for $15.00.
