1. Dominion Land Grant site
http://www.archives.ca/exec/naweb.dll?fs&02011102&e&...
(also below)
2. Then take the above number and put them into here-
Coordinate Converter :
http://www.maptown.com/coordinates.html
3. But # 2 gives the reading in decimals so go to this next site , which will put the numbers in minutes and seconds:
http://www2.arrl.org/locate/grid.html
4. Lastly , if you want to find the nearest town to the land grant go to this last site and scroll down to the list and the third one says "Query by point coordinates"
http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/english/cgndb.html
If you have any problem , just get back to me and I will sort it out . I finally found my GF's under his name before he came to Canada so I am sending for the files tomorrow.( the land grant files can have farm, personal , etc information so that's why this is an important find)
