The Land Family genealogy book was privately published after the first family reunion of the Land family was held in 1982 in Hamilton.
The book is titled "A Loyalist's Legacy" and subtitled "The Family of Robert Land". The author was Dorothy I. Brown.
It was a limited edition of 500, which was sold to those who attended the reunion and signed up for it. It contains all the known Land family descendants as of the book's publication date in 1987.
I think that there is a copy in the Hamilton, Ontario library system, with another copy possibly in the Milton, Ontario library system.
The daughter of the author has started posting the contents on a web site about the Land family. The last time I looked at the site she had the first 3 of the 7 Land family children posted.
The connection to Charles Lindbergh is through the 7th son Ephraim Land. Charle's mother, Evangaline Lodge Land, was a 4th generation Land family descendant.
In the book's genealogy nomenclature Charles Lindbergh is listed as "7-6-3-1-1", making him a 5th generation descendant of Robert Land.
By way of contrast I am listed in the book as "7-5-1-2-4-1" making me a 6th generation descendant of Robert Land.
I hope this helps you.
