Foothills Genealogical Society Meeting and Presentations
Carol Darrow, Professional Genealogist, will present "Opening Up the U.S. Bureau of Land Management" at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 11, at the FhGS virtual meeting.
Learn how to find your ancestors in The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) records. The BLM is full of treasures. There are documents dealing with Cash Sales of land across the U.S. There are Military Bounty Land assignments and, after 1862, there are Homestead patents “to secure homesteads to actual settlers on the public domain”. The BLM also granted Timber Culture (1873), Homestead Entry-Stock Raising (1916) and Mineral Patents and Indian Allotments. The list goes on and on.
Carol Darrow has been a professional genealogist for the past 24 years. She currently manages two free groups on ZOOM for the Colorado Genealogical Society: Beginning Genealogy and WriteNOW!, a family history writing group.
