JULY 6: FINDING THE LAW - JUDY RUSSELL, JD, CG, CGL
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? Learn how, using Pennsylvania as a key example.

Our meetings are now being held on the third Monday of each month. DRIVING DIRECTIONS: On Babcock Blvd between Duncan and Cumberland turn at the Providence Blvd traffic light towards the campus. At the third stop sign turn left, then at the second stop sign turn into the parking lot. Follow "Family History" signs and parking lot attendant's directions to entrance. |
