Presented by Carol Darrow, Professional Genealogist, learn how to explore land patents, surveys, and tract books. Virtual attendance only.

Presented by Carol Darrow, Professional Genealogist

Genealogists can benefit immensely from using GLM GLO records, as these documents offer valuable insight into land ownership and family history. By exploring land patents, surveys, and tract books, genealogists can trace ancestral land acquisitions, uncover kinship ties, and pinpoint where ancestors lived. Utilizing BLM GLO records is a key strategy in piecing together the intricate puzzle of genealogical research.

Zoom attendance only!
