The General Land Office Bureau of Land Records website has digital images of federal land patents granted in the United States. The index generally includes the names of patentees and warrantees for these initial transfers of land from the federal government to private ownership. Users unfamiliar with these records are encouraged to read the pages in the reference center of the website.
When you upload a picture to a social media or other site, does that site create their own name for the file? Is that long name you created which contained information about the picture now a random string of numbers and characters? That’s why it’s even more important to include some identification or citation information on the image itself. The image in the illustration had a long name I had created for it that included the name of the person involved, the county where the estate inventory was located, and a packet number. When I went to Facebook to download the file to another device, I was reminded that Facebook created their own name for the file as shown in the illustration from the “file save” menu.
