Monterey Co., CA - Index to Federal Land Records - "N" Surnames California Land Patents Database The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) inherited the functions of the General Land Office when it was established by Congress in 1946. The California Land Patents Database, derived from General Land Office and BLM information, contains deeds (primarily patents) issued by the United States in the State of California between 1856 and 1995. While BLM has been referred to as "the Nations record keeper" it is the National Archives that actually keeps the files. The BLM, maintains diagrammatic plats known as Master Title Plats, which depict lands which are owned by the United States and lands which are patented. However, these plats do not have any information about who the lands were patented to. That information as only been available after tedious research, it is available now in this database. The California Land Patents Database contains the following information for each land transaction: date, location (township, range, section, meridian), name of person the land was patented to, case type, conveyance type, county, case number and the patent document identification number. You can order a copy of the land patent from the CA BLM office: http://www.blm.gov/ca/ See the General Land Office web site for details: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov Or the National Archives: http://www.archives.gov/research/order/#genie Look for Land Entry Records California Land Patents Database Key to Case Types 181000- Public Lands Litigation 186001- Quit claim deed by US 210000- Acquisition by US 220000- Land exchange 230000- Withdrawal of Land by US 240000- Classification of Lands by US 250000 Disposition: Use and Occupancy 251000- Homestead 252000- Desert Land Act 253000- Indian Patents 254000- Color of Title Act 255000- Mining Claim Occupancy Act 260000 Grants 261000- Military Scrip Warrant Patents 262000- Lands to the State of California 262500- Swamp Land 263000- Rail Road Grants 264000- Airport conveyance act 267000- Spanish / Mexican Land Grants 270000 Sales 271000- Public Land Sale 272000- Cash 273000- Small Tract 274000- Recreation & Public Purposes 275000- Cemeteries and Parks 276000- Townsites 278000- Unintentional Trespass 371000 Multiple Use Act 386000 Mining Laws 386200- Lode Mining Claims 386300- Placer Mining Claims 386400- Millsite Claims Land Conveyance types in this database: PA - Patent GD - Grant Deed WD - Warranty Deed Land Conveyances to the State of California IL - State Lieu Selection (Lands the State selected in-lieu of sections 16 and 36, which they were entitled to but did not receive) LS - Forest Lieu Selection SG - State Grant SS - State Selection Key to Meridians: HM - Humbolt GS - Gila and Salt River (along the Colorado River) MD - Mount Diablo SB - San Bernardino MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP RANGE SECTION DOCID DATE NAME MD 0180S 0030E 007 8706 1905/05/09 NAGEL FREDRICK C MD 0180S 0030E 017 8706 1905/05/09 NAGEL FREDRICK C MD 0180S 0030E 018 8706 1905/05/09 NAGEL FREDRICK C MD 0160S 0010E 022 3285 1890/09/03 NAREDO ESEQUIO MD 0210S 0080E 004 2913 1889/03/16 NARVAEZ ANTONIO MD 0210S 0080E 009 4664 1892/11/11 NARVAEZ FRANCISCO MD 0210S 0080E 004 2912 1889/03/16 NARVAEZ PEDRO MD 0160S 0030E 019 16142 1892/10/26 NASON FRED MD 0160S 0030E 019 13365 1890/11/25 NASON FRED P MD 0230S 0140E 032 1111714 1941/07/22 NATHO TOD MD 0230S 0140E 033 1111714 1941/07/22 NATHO TOD MD 0200S 0090E 004 3743 1892/02/08 NATTRASS CUTHBERT MD 0190S 0100E 022 8403 1883/03/30 NATTRASS CUTHBERT MD 0200S 0100E 018 1670 1882/02/10 NATTRASS JOSEPH B MD 0200S 0090E 013 5066 1894/05/04 NATTRASS JOSEPH B MD 0200S 0100E 006 19128 1894/01/25 NATTRASS MAUD MD 0200S 0100E 017 5109 1894/05/04 NATTRASS WILLIAM MD 0200S 0100E 017 20073 1897/11/01 NATTRASS WILLIAM MD 0210S 0090E 005 19475 1894/08/10 NATUSCH ERNEST MD 0170S 0040E 009 115103 1891/09/18 NEAL FRANCIS M;
