Those claims frequently included statements by relatives, heirs, neighbors, or friends and sometimes contained additional genealogical information. A land office was opened at [[Kaskaskia, Illinois|Kaskaskia]] in 1804 for settling claims and land disputes. Records of these and other claims are in:

Classes 8 and 9 of these records deal with public lands and claims for the years 1789 to 1837, and may name siblings or heirs of original claimants. Classes 8 and 9 have been republished in:
