Pathways to Spicy Stories: An Overview of Court Records

ALL levels

Presenter: Laura Street Chaplin

Court records in their infinite variety are a treasure trove for genealogists because they are not just legal documents.  They are pathways into the stories of our ancestors’ lives, often leading to clues we might otherwise miss.  While vital statistics like birth, marriage, and death dates and places are important, it is the stories we uncover that add something extra.  Attend this humorous attempt to give an overview of the various documents found in the American courthouse!
