I use Roots Magic for my main genealogy software and I'm trying to massage the citation template to cite a Patent Image I pulled from the BLM GLO website. Here is my citation:
Bureau of Land Management, "Land Patent Search," images, General Land Office Records (https://glorecords.blm.gov/default.aspx : accessed online 6 August 2025), entry for state volume patent issued 1 December 1860 to Joseph Williams (Elmore County, Alabama) cash entry patent no 52594; Greenville Land Office, Alabama.
I'm going thru a number of BLM records and want to be sure I'm on the right track with my citation. Any advice appreciated.

Hello, Nolan. Your "try"…
Hello, Nolan. Your "try" well follows EE4's BLM example at 12.22, except one point. When you chose to add "Greenville Land Office, Alabama," what was the reasoning for putting that in a separate layer?
