Land Patents

One of the very first original documents that I found online was the land patent issued to my great great grandfather.  He settled in Wisconsin in 1848.

You can easily find your ancestor by name or research a location at the Bureau of Land Management website.   Click here to go there  http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/search/default.aspx

You can also save or print out an image of the land patent.
