+*United States. Bureau of Land Management. ''Card Files''. Washington, DC: Bureau of Land Management, 19––. On 160 Family History Library films, Minnesota cards are found on {{FHL|1501675}} and 1501676. Use these to find the land office name and certificate numbers. Cards mainly cover cash purchases during the 1850s and 1860s. Each card contains the following information: Certificate number District Land Office Kind of entry (cash, credit, warrant, etc.) Name of patentee and county of origin Land description Number of acres Date of patent Volume and page where document can be located . Because these index cards are arranged by township and range within each state, the researcher will need to already have an approximate legal description in order to access these cards. In a few cases, the cards include names of entire families as assignors.
