Deric Wortham received rave reviews from his last two part class on Researching Court House Records which includes records such as land, wills, probate, school, census, marriage, and more. These kinds of records are often filled with valuable genealogy information. As we talked to class members from the last classes, we head comments like "That is one the best classes I have ever taken."
Knowing how to do this type of research opens valuable opportunities to discover information beyond census, birth, and death records. This popular two-part class began last Thursday. The second session will be the following Thursday, Aug. 14 6:00 P.M. Use class number 371 for the second class on this Thursday. The class often fills up quickly, so be sure to register as soon as possible. Read more about Deric Wortham and the two classes below. . . .
