SUMMARY:Research and the Law: Legal Knowledge Needed to Find Your Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:DGS Spring Seminar featuring Judy G. Russell\, The Legal Genealogist! \nTopics: \n\nFinding the Law Time and Time Again – We’re told as genealogists that we need to look at records in the context of the law at the time and in the place where the records were created. Easier said than done! With 50 states and the federal government all passing laws\, how do we find the laws we need?\nMaking a Federal Case Out of It – Even genealogists who have a good background in court records often overlook the wealth of detail available in the records of the federal courts: the District Court\, the Circuit Court\, the modern Circuit Court of Appeals\, and even the Supreme Court. From bankruptcies to copyrights to patents to cases in admiralty and more\, federal court records merit a close look.\nFrom 1619 to Juneteenth – Slavery and the Law Before the Civil War – No issue more bitterly impacted early America than slavery. Defended by some\, decried by others\, slavery left its mark on the laws of the nation and all the states\, enslaved or free. The records created by those laws provide critical clues for genealogists\, whether descended from enslaved or enslaver. [For northern states only\, see “Deemed a Runaway.”]\nDower and Dowry: Women\, Property\, & Legal Records Bringing – Property into marriage or trying to take it out\, our female ancestors were governed by laws that generated valuable records. Learn about the common law dower and the civil law dowry\, how they differed\, and how to find the stories the records tell.\n\nThis will be a hybrid (in-person and virtual) event. Recording will be available to registered participants following the event. More Information..

SUMMARY:Family Research Half-day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to discover your family’s history! Come to a free family research workshop on Saturday\, April 15\, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.\, at the Main County Library in Canton. The class\, presented by the Van Zandt County Genealogical Society\, features Donna Toups\, researcher and librarian at the Wills Point LDS Family History Center. Beginner researchers are the focus of the class\, but it will also give information of vital importance to advanced genealogists. Refreshments will be served\, and attendees don’t have to be a member of the Genealogical Society to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Toups has taught Genealogical Society classes in the past\, and has charmed and informed students by focusing on the sheer fun of family research. Bring your laptop and smartphone if you have them; the workshop will include computer research and the old-fashioned\, non electronic kind. It will also offer attendees the chance to share stories with other researchers\, and to get specific tips from Ms. Toups. \n\n\n\nThere has never been a better time to get involved in genealogy\, or to sharpen your skills if you’ve already started. The Van Zandt County Genealogical Society hopes the April 15 workshop will help inspire researchers\, both young and old\, new and experienced.

SUMMARY:DPL: Finding Our Scottish Immigrant’s Home with American Documents
DESCRIPTION:In-person & Virtual Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenealogy Expert Patti Gillespie\, owner of Family Lines and Stories\, will help genealogy researchers better understand how to locate their ancestor’s Scottish origins. She will present on one of her family’s ancestors – Robert Gillespie\, husband\, father\, and miner who emigrated to the United States in 1869; he never became a United States citizen. Without naturalization information\, it becomes more difficult to find the birthplace of the émigré before 1900. This presentation concentrates on looking for other sources and sites to find Robert’s hometown. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Van Zandt County - 175th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Van Zandt County will soon be 175 years old. The Van Zandt County Genealogical Society\, in partnership with other local history groups\, will hold a birthday party for the county on Saturday\, March 25\, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.\, at the Blackwell House Museum and the main County Library (next door) 317 First Monday Lane\, in Canton. The celebration is open to the public and free. Tours of the museum will be provided\, and there will be opportunities to learn about some of the early settlers of the county. Refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\nThe Texas State Legislature passed a law creating Van Zandt County on March 20\, 1848. The new county was named after Isaac Van Zandt (1813-1847)\, a country store owner who became a legislator and diplomat for the Texas Republic; his greatest achievement was to help ensure that Texas joined the United States. Van Zandt died of yellow fever in 1847 while campaigning to be Governor. Although Van Zandt never lived in his namesake place\, the creation of the county was a testament to the gratitude of legislators for his service to Texas during his short life. \n\n\n\nThe March 25 birthday celebration will honor the county and the pioneers who made East Texas succeed. A highlight will be the celebration of the life of Elvira Engledow\, an early settler of Van Zandt County and a Citizen of the Republic of Texas. Many organizations\, such as the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and the Van Zandt County Historical Commission\, will join with the Genealogical Society in this event. The hosts will be wearing their 1800s pioneer clothes\, and the public is encouraged to do so. Come join the fun\, learn some history\, have some birthday cake! Remember\, the party will be happening at both the Blackwell House and next door at the main county library in Canton\, Texas. \n\n\n\n\nMORE INFO
