Annual Meeting and Fall Webinar
Saturday, September 26
Annual Meeting and Fall Webinar  (PA PalAm Events)
1:00 pm
Via Zoom
Judy G. Russell, The Legal Genealogist®, is a genealogist with a law degree who provides expert guidance through the murky territory where law and family history intersect. Her topics for this meeting are, "Putting Those Records to Work" and "Legal History of Title Origins in Pennsylvania"
  1. Our first session (on Records) starts at 1:00 pm ET.  It will explore 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.
  2. In our second session on Title Origins, 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.
  • Plan to stay for the Annual Membership Meeting following these two interesting presentations.

What is your brick wall in researching your Pennsylvania German ancestors? Perhaps you are seeking the name of the ship that brought Heinrich Schmidt to these shores and when. Or maybe you found brothers George and Casper Henzel operating a butcher shop in Allegheny City in the 1860’s, but George disappeared after Casper and his family moved west. How might you find George?
We can’t solve your problem or do the research for you, but maybe other attendees can offer ideas and suggestions for your next steps.
