Court records are an underutilized genealogical resource. While courthouses hold common records like marriage, divorce, naturalization, and probate items, you might be
surprised to find that your ancestor had a criminal record. Was he involved in a lawsuit or bankruptcy proceeding or something more sinister?

At our December monthly meeting, Kate Townsend will present “Court Records Research Without the Law Degree.” Kate will explore the types of court records that might be available, the various courts in which they might be found, how to find them, and what resources might be available to help you.
