Welcome to the Bureau of Land Management at glorecords.blm.gov. There are documents
dealing with Cash Sales of land across the U.S. plus Military Bounty Land assignments
and, after 1862, Homestead patents "to secure homesteads to actual settlers on the
public domain." Let's find your ancestors there.
