This book contains "Claims" by owners of Spanish (second rule) land grants. When Florida was acquired from Spain in 1821 it became a US Territory. Beginning in 1822, people had to file their claims to prove title to the land. These records are at the Florida State Archives and are available online. However, this book focuses on where the land they are claiming - is located. The author includes old Spanish surveys (if preserved), State Survey records, as well as Plats and diagrams from the BLM database. A modern map shows where the approximate location of each of these claims/grants are - and will allow the researcher easier access and more information than online. Some of these claims include death dates, marriages, children (or heirs) and many other historical and genealogical information. All of this is indexed for quick searching. Not all claims were approved - regardless - if they filed a claim it is included here. Each volume is cataloged by last name (surname) in alpha order.
