I found it - I had to go back to the original web site and look for information:
I used this web site when it was first posted by John Ragle, but
lately I have discovered I can't find the land grant information
anymore. Have they changed the site layout? Has anyone used it
recently? It is no longer self-expanatory...
Thanks,
Susan
