== Websites  ==
*[http://www.ancestorhunt.com/land-records-search.htm Land Records Search] has many county and some state indexes to land records online.
*[http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/search/default.aspx General Land Office - Patent Search] are searchable online and most have free images of patents to download. The minimum information needed for a search is the state where the land is located and the name of the person receiving the patent. Surveys and Land Status Records can also be searched here.
* [https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https://familysearch.org/recapi/sord/collection/2074276/waypoints General Land Office - Track Book Search] are searchable online. They contain the name and legal land description on all applications for land from the federal government. Even if that application did not result in a patent. This is a manual search, so a general idea of where the land is located is needed. Otherwise there is too much to search.
