The initial point of contact between a settler and the government was a district land office. A District Land Office was staffed by a Register and a Receiver. The Register was responsible for land entry papers until they were sent to the GLO, and for maintaining the tract and register books and other records relating to claims. The Receiver handled the money involved in land claims.

The Register was responsible for land entry papers until they were sent to the GLO, and for maintaining the tract and register books and other records relating to claims. The Receiver handled the money involved in land claims.


A person wanting to make an entry of any type went to the Register of the local land office and filed his claim upon the public domain (available public lands). Some types of claims, such as cash entries, were settled quickly; other claims required several proofs over time. When all the legal requirements for title to the claimed land had been satisfied, a final certificate was issued by the Register to the entryman, and all papers regarding the claim were sent to the GLO. If all the was found to be in order a patent (title) was prepared and sent to the Register for delivery to the entryman. Case files where a final certificate or title was issued were removed by the land office and sent to the GLO.

*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
*Collect entries for every person who has the same surname.  This list can help you identify possible relations that can be verified by records
*Try searching by surname only
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality in an area search 
*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name while searching the index or browsing through images 
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.html nicknames] or alternated between using first and middle names. Try searching for [http://genealogy.about.com/od/first_names/fl/nickname-given-name-equivalents.htm these names] as well 
*Search the indexes and records of [[Nebraska, United States Genealogy]] or [[Kansas, United States Genealogy]]
*Search in the [[Nebraska Archives and Libraries]] or [[Kansas Archives and Libraries]]
