Thank you, Debbie and Yvonee, for your responses. Debbie, the
manuscript option is very general in SourceWriter. Yvonne, that is
helpful to know that they were referred to as the "BLM state office"
even though it couldn't have been BLM back then since it didn't
exist. But I suppose they would have been using the same terminology
as the GLO used and referred to them as the 'state" offices to
distinquish the office located in a state from the main office.
Thanks.

It was common (even though we were the Federal Government) to
identify the Dept. of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management office
that managed a group of state (related) records to refer to it as
"the BLM state office". Yes, BLM issues public land patents.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Cash entry files in SourceWriter
I wanted to enter a cash entry land file that I got from the
National Archives but I think are considered GLO records. When I
look at the drop-down menu for options to choose from for GLO>>Land
& Property records>cash entry files, I see only options for CD/DVD
databases or FHL. Then under "Land grants, I see Land & Property
records>land grants>state land office records for public lands>
basic format. That would seem right except that I didn't think
they were "state" land offices. I thought the land offices were
under the jurisdiction of the federal government, not the
state. Is there another way, I should be doing this?
