SUMMARY:Fall Webinar and Annual Membership Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This is a partner event. Presenter: Judy G. Russell\, The Legal Genealogist®. Join us via Zoom for two interesting presentations\, then stay connected for our Annual Membership Meeting. “Putting Those Records to Work” explores the clear use of each document we locate. Each can be mined – directly or in combination with other records – for a deeper\, richer context for our family members and their place in time. In our second session “Legal History of Title Origins in Pennsylvania” we will learn that PA law begins with one premise: William Penn owned it all. Knowing how the genealogists can read between the lines when tracing land ownership back to the beginning pays big dividends for research. Register. \n\n\n\n\n\nEastern time zone | online | English
