Join us for our Annual meeting and Seminar!
We are pleased to welcome back The Legal Genealogist Judy Russell, JD, CG, CGL, as our speaker at our Annual Meeting.
Program will include installation of elected officers of 2nd Vice President - Membership and Treasurer.
Session 1: 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.
Session 2: How Old Did He Have To Be…? Is this man John the father or John the son? Could that man be my ancestor who married in 1802? Knowing a person’s age is often the key to distinguishing between two people of the same name. But if no record gives a birthdate, how do you know how old someone was? The law can often give the answer.
Session 3: Laws of the Indies: Spanish Colonial laws and the records they produced. From town planning to native relations, “Las Leyes de Las Indias”(Laws of the Indies) governed Spanish colonies of North America and beyond, and created unique records for research for anyone with ancestral ties to Spanish America
Session 4: “Twelve Good and Lawful Men”: Jury Lists in Genealogy. One of the most common experiences of our ancestors with the courts was the requirement of jury service. Learn to understand who could and couldn't serve, how jurors were called, and how to use jury lists in family research.
