Beginning Family History Series: Estate Records

This beginning-level class series is for anyone interested in tracing their family history. Learn to use essential records that document the lives of your ancestors. In four classes, we will cover the following foundational record types: U.S. Census Records, Vital Records, Estate Records, and Land Records. Each class will include a presentation, followed by time to apply what you learn in your own research. Register for one class or all four! 

Class 3: Estate Records - These records can reveal intimate details about your ancestors, including their wealth, property, heirs, and family dynamics. In this session, we’ll explore how to find probate records, such as wills, inventories, and estate settlements and learn how to glean information from them that may help break through some brick walls.
