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 ancestor's land transactions from the National Archives.

The Genealogical Proof Standard states that data analysis and correlation is necessary, but what techniques are best?
