USER NOTES:

- Some counties were received with poorly defined township, range, and section items.  Corrections that were
made are listed below in FGDL Quality Assurance by county. If the county is not listed it was not altered from original, except to conform to FGDL Quality Assurance procedures.

- TRS values = 00N00E00 OR 00S00W00 OR 0000000, ETC. ARE RECORDS THAT DID NOT HAVE VALID TOWNSHIP RANGE AND SECTION VALUES, SO WERE DEFINE TO THESE ITEMS TO ALLOW FOR EASE OF IDENTIFYING.

- The Florida Keys (TAXD9944) records were orginally listed as 01S01E01, this was changed to 99S99E99 so as to not
be confused with the TRS values (01S01E01) found in LEON CO. 

- Escambia Co. has no section values 

- Washington Co. has TRS for only 25507 out of 42878 records

- Wakulla Co. has TRS for only 9476 out of 20934 records

- Nassau Co.  9312 out of 35386 records have no township value

- See FGDL Quality Assurance for more info
