Welcome
Good morning fellow family researchers!
This is your official invitation to our May program.
When: Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 13, 2025
What time: 6:00 p.m. Central time
Where: Willard Library or Zoom
What: “A Deed in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush” Land records can be genealogical goldmines, even if your ancestor wasn’t the deed holder. We start with an overview of how land transferred from the government to private hands and between individuals. Then consider the power of land records to answer genealogical questions, and look at tips for finding and using these records. Includes a live look at Full-Text Search.
Who: Sara Cochran. Sara is a full-time professional genealogist with thirty years of research experience. Her research has taken her to nearly every state in the USA and Ireland.
