She makes something dry (like law) entertaining!
This webinar was very informative. I have not delved into court records very much in my familiar research so I learned a lot of useful information for when I do have to or would like to research using that resource.
Very good!
Always superb opportunity to learn from Judy. She loves-loves-loves law results that we can use in our research, and I've made a list of people to do more research on, in court records of all kinds, and including any newspaper accounts I can find!! Very inspiring.
Judy is the greatest at making info. Come alive. I would never have thought of court records for genealogy purposes.
Source of information that I had not thought above
Very entertaining and interesting as usual.
I learned so much about juries and ways to find information.
