Digging into Land Records and Ancestral Tall Tales

Georgia-based genealogist and historian, Jennifer Dunn, presents:

Land Records: The Cornerstone of Georgia Genealogy

We'll discuss Georgia's headright system and land lotteries. We'll talk about how to find out where your ancestors lived, what this can reveal, and other things you can learn about your ancestors from land records—even if they weren't landowners!

Your Ancestors are Lying to You (Here's How to Catch Them)

Sometimes the clues our ancestors leave behind only tell part of the story or obscure
the truth altogether. We'll learn the most common ancestral "lies" and how to uncover
the truth!
