"A Research Tool & a Family Keepsake: Genealogists and Family History researchers know the wealth of details waiting to be found in maps and land records. Books in the Family MapsTM Series will, for the first time anywhere, map millions of Federal Land Patents across much of the U.S., revealing an almost limitless number of family relationships. Our goals with each book in this series are to give family researchers both an invaluable tool AND a valuable keepsake to pass on to future generations." --
