interesting It took me a while to get my county maps to show up when I clicked the front page. I don't know what I was doing wrong.

Were you able to find it Helen?
I was able to find land belonging to my grandpa and great grandpa on my dad's side. They owned land north of Springfield. I've always lived in this area and saw a lot of names I recognized of other families that I know have been in this area a long time.
Owning a piece of land was important then. You know a lot of people had to provide food for large families during the 30's using the land that they owned. I can't imagine having to do that. There were nine kids in my dad's family. My poor grandmother must've done a LOT of canning.

Yes. I moved here in the 50's, but the land where I live belonged to my exhusband's grandfather. I found his name on a big square of land. I found my parent's land. They used to call their farm the Hall place.
