Event Education-GLO'ing with BLM

      GLO'ing with BLM by Sandy Rumble

The records of the General Land Office (GLO) provide detailed information on federal land transactions. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) publishes these early public records, providing a way to track the migration of our early settlers and homesteaders and any awards of bounty lands for military service. In turn, the information found in the GLO system provides the information to retrieve the detailed, personal records of our ancestors land transactions from the National Archives.

As a course coordinator for GRIP, Sandy coordinated Documentation for Lineage Societies and co-coordinated Answering the Call of Uncle Sam, an exploration of 18^th & 19^th century American military records.
