You can search U.S. Land and Probate Records and get an instant transcription of the handwritten document. It's pretty accurate, but needs some corrections. Easy to copy and paste. Go to the Home page of Family Search, but DO NOT log in.  Go to the bottom of the page, and under "Ways to Contribute", Click "Family Search Labs." Scroll down to "Available Experiments" and choose" Expand your Search with full Text." Then click "Go to Experiment." 

I just discovered this but many of you may already know.smiley

Yes, Barbara, it's a stunning new feature.  My cousin used it and it looks like we've broken down a 40-year brick wall for a 2nd great grandfather.  Hats off the familysearch.  They've made it easy to check the records with filters.  Hoping they'll add birth, death and marriage at some point.  But in the meantime I keep returning to it.
