We have three speakers to share their expertise with you. Handouts available on the website prior to seminar.
1) Betty Ellis speaks about land records. "Grandpa, Where Did You Farm?"
Strategies for mining U.S. Land Records to further family history research. This session will discuss descriptions in historical context, the Homesteaders, clues found in land deeds and where to search.
2) Judy Russell presenting "Where There Is - or Isn't - a Will"
Where there's a will, there's a probate. And often when there isn't a will, there's still a probate. Understanding the process and finding the records created when our ancestors died can help break through those brick walls.
3) Sunny Jane Morton presenting "How to Find Your Family History in U.S. Church Records"
“U.S. church records of many denominations can reveal ancestors’ vital events, family relationships, overseas birthplaces and other residences and religious lives. From the co-author of the acclaimed book How to Find Your Family History in U.S. Church Records, learn what these records may look like, how to identify an ancestral church, locate extant records and access them.”
