After a settler completed the requirements for land entry, his case file was sent to the [[Land Patent Search|General Land Office]] in Washington, D.C., where a patent (first-title deed) was issued. To locate the land entry or homestead case file for your ancestor, you will need to know either the patent number or the legal description (range, township, section) of the land. The county recorder of deeds may be able to tell you the legal description of the land from county land records. You may also be able to pinpoint the exact location of a tract by searching the entries in the tract book covering the approximate area concerned.<br> | After a settler completed the requirements for land entry, his case file was sent to the [[Land Patent Search|General Land Office]] in Washington, D.C., where a patent (first-title deed) was issued.
