Becoming a Probate Detective: Rejoicing in the Probate Files of our Ancestors

This presentation introduces the basics of probate and demonstrates what invaluable clues and information may be found in a probate file.

Dawn's lecture will take the form of a live online presentation.  Unfortunately, we must limit participation to members only, and only the first 100 people who attempt to join it will be admitted.  No pre-registration is required for this event, and there will be no charge to view it.  All members will receive an email on Friday afternoon, April 3, with instructions on joining the online meeting.  Sign in will begin at 9:50 am on Saturday.
