The land records are in the county Recorder's Office. If my understanding
is correct, the BLM only has the original purchases from the government. If
an individual sold Mr. Anderson the land, that transaction would not be on
the BLM site.
I need to pay forward some genealogical kindness to repay assistance I've
received recently, so here's what I'll do. If you will give me some
additional information about Mr. Anderson, I'll go to the Recorder's Office
and see what I can find for you. I'll also look for a map that has range
and township and section markings on it. I purchased a good one several
years ago, but don't know what's available now.
About John Anderson:
- Was he married and what was his wife's name?
- During what date range do you think he was in Brown County?
- Do you have any clues about what part of the county he was in - township
name, post office, etc.?

Subject: [INBROWN] Land records for Br.Co.IN early 1900's and bef.
I'm looking for the right place to find out about land owned in Brown Co.
circa early 1900's?
I have the Circuit Court papers for Nov 1909 that says one John Anderson
deceased had land, but in looking at the BLM - ES, GLO website, I did not
find
where he had purchased land in Brown Co.IN. Where can I find out
where
the
land he owned was in Brown Co.?\
thanks so much,
