January 16 Workshop

Find A Grave: We looked at the "new" Find A Grave website: after it was purchased by Ancestry the entire site was redone. You can find the same information, but the search format looks different. Find A Grave still requires exact spelling to produce search results.


BLM Records: U. S. researchers should use the Government Land Office site to discover whether an ancestor received a land grant. The site provides a copy of the deed and a map of the location of the land description.


Both of these sites can be reached from our list of website links.
