SUMMARY:Van Zandt GS Fall Genealogy All-Day Seminar!

Sellers\, a genealogist with decades of experience\, who has taught thousands of researchers. John always impresses his students with his deep grasp of history and research and his ability to make it fun and useful. He backs up his lectures with examples from his own research. \n  \n“The Other Court in Texas” How to understand and access records in the district courts of Texas. A valuable resource we shouldn’t ignore. These records include divorces\, civil and criminal cases\, adoptions\, and ex-parte cases. \n“Women: That Gender You Can’t Do Without In Your Research” Women are half of your family tree. This class addresses the ways to research your female lines. \n“Your Ancestor’s Cousins” The study of collateral research\, siblings of your ancestors and their offspring can lead you to new research and discoveries. Rarely does a family move alone across the country\, especially from the early 20th century and earlier. Knowing your collateral kin helps you get over research “brick walls.” \n“Here Comes the Judge: Your Ancestor’s Day in Court” Most of our ancestors had their day in court either as a defendant\, plaintiff\, or a juror. This lecture studies the proceedings of trial courts and how to access their records. \n Register
