    Jack:      Thanks.  We have owned 52 acres for seventy or more years in the middle of the Nat'l Forest.  Just wondering if we can get money from natural gas.  No more timber for maybe ten years.

         What is OGM?

    Jack: MIneral, gas, and oil rights for our property I do not know.  We can't afford a lawyer to do the search.  The courthouse woman said I could come in and search the deeds.  Online I search them as far back as I could.  I have to go into the courthouse to search back to 1940.  Is there an easier way?  My father always said the mineral, etc., rights are gone.

    Jack:  From the most recent deed, it is part of Subdivision No. 348.  The original deed is in Book 499, page 777.  The most recent deed is in Vol 532, page 178-180.  The land was originally purchased from an old Swedish estate of which two of the nine owners were children of the estate.  It is used to enjoy nature, so I guess no matter how things turn out the original purpose will be preserved
