This Land is Whose Land? Using Land Records to Trace Your Family History

Saturday, April 9, 2011
10:30 AM - Noon

Deeds, maps, lottery registration lists, and other land records can place an ancestor in a specific place at a specific time. These records can sometimes tell us an ancestor's age, birthplace, military service, citizenship, literacy, and other personal information as well. Join Atlanta History Center archivist Sue VerHoef as she explains how to locate and utilize these records to find out the branches of your family tree.
