United States Local Court Records

15 May 2015---4:00 pm Central.
Don't let local court records confuse you. Records of inheritance fights, divorce, property disputes, etc. can be genealogical gold mines. Learn how to access and effectively search these records (the indexes are part of the problem) and organize and make the most of what you find. You don't have to be a lawyer to get good use from court records--and you may be surprised just how many of your ancestors were in court at one time or another. One of our more popular presentations.
