[juststartingout]

I found the Township, Range, and Section # of the land in question and it was Patented in 1835 to a person that I have never heard of, but could be an ancestor. (that side of the family tree has not gotten researched that far back)....



Here's my thinking, so pleae tell me if I am W-R-O-N-G:



I have found who the land has been deeded to and the last deed was in 1998. I am thinking I have to research each exchange/sale and get copies of each of those deeds? Also, to have to prove ancestory to this particular person whom had the original land patent, and to get a copy of the original documents my g-father had showing the land was his in the first place. My thoughts are not coming out too well right now....noisy children in the background.



I am just in communication with my parents about this. We will not talk to any other family members until more clear on the issues and facts.
