View, download, and print out actual copies of your ancestors' land
patents. There's "access to more than two million Federal land title records
for the Eastern Public Land States, issued between 1820 and 1908."
Don't worry about the "Eastern." States currently included
are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. More states (presumably
what we now call eastern) are promised soon.
