Bureau of Land Management Database Back Online
The Bureau of Land Management (a part of the US Department of the Interior) has once again made their database of land patent records available on their website. The site was shut down last April due to a lawsuit involving the security of information about the Indian Trust Fund.
The database provides access to images of over two million Federal land record titles issued between 1820 and 1908. Charles P. Ingalls, the father of well-known Little House on the Prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder filed a claim in New Ulm, Redwood County, Minnesota in 1879 which can be seen at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/Image.asp?Accession=MN1260%5F%5F%2E135&Format=SmallGIF&Page=1&Index=3&QryID=55358%2E07http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/Image.asp?Accession=MN1260%5F%5F%2E135&Format=SmallGIF&Page=1&Index=3&QryID=55358%2E07.
