The land records that are generally of most interest to genealogists are the land entry case files. These are records that document the transfer of public lands from the U.S. Government to private ownership. There are over ten million such individual land transactions in the custody of the National Archives. These case files cover land entries in all 30 public land states. The case files were filed as either military bounty land warrants, pre-1908 general land entry files, or as post-1908 land entry files. The information required to access and order copies of the records will differ depending on which of these 3 categories the transaction falls into. Once you have your land patent information you can order (for a fee) a copy of the land entry case file for that patent. Land entry case files can contain a wealth of information of interest to genealogists or nothing of much use at all. You never know unless you order the record.
