Frank, this database only covers original land sales by the federal
government. Its possible that your ancestors bought their land from
another individual or company. This transaction would not be covered in
this database, but would be in the deed information which is available, but
not on-line. Nor is it indexed!

One other place to look if you believe that they did buy the land from the
federal government is the Fort Wayne land office. You can reach this
database by just eliminating the "search.html" in the URL and then
selecting the Fort Wayne database.
