Unlock Your Family’s Legal Past

Discover how legal records can provide unique insights into your ancestors' lives! This 10 part series of tutorials explores the complex court system our ancestors had to navigate and the records they generated, and how they can uncover family disputes and hidden stories. Through sample records and case studies, learn where to find these records and how to interpret them. This course is perfect for genealogists of all levels looking to break through research brick walls.

Whilst these tutorials build as a series, you can also view these as stand alone tutorials.
