'''When you find an ancestor's entry.''' Once you are viewing the tract book, locate land entry under the appropriate numbered section, township, and range listed on the left side of each page in the volume. Each land entry was recorded in the tract book across two pages. Once you find the record of the land entry, be sure to photocopy both tract book pages of information, and the full bibliographic source information about the tract book volume in which it was found. This information will help the National Archives retrieve the land entry case file for you.
