Bounty-land programs created rich documentary trails-but they are rarely straightforward. Learn how bounty land worked in major U.S. conflicts, why land warrants often changed hands, and how to trace the records that connect soldiers, heirs, and later buyers. You'll leave with practical strategies for using bounty-land files to uncover military service, family relationships, and migration patterns.
This will be a joint program with the Howard County Genealogical Society. The program is open to the public.
