U.S. Courthouse Records:

How To Find and Use Them Successfully

United States courthouses contain valuable (and sometimes the only existing) family history records. Gain the tools and confidence to use this valuable resource in this 4-week online genealogy course.

May 31 - June 27

Take a sneak peek into the course:

Courthouses around the United States are the guardians of many of the most important (and sometimes the only) existing records of our ancestors’ lives. We can’t really say we’ve learned all we can about an ancestor without examining courthouse holdings for every county that person lived in. But between legal terminology, busy clerks and inconsistent records from county to county, a courthouse can be an intimidating place to research. This course is designed to help you overcome the obstacles of searching through courthouse records. 

You'll learn:

• Different kinds of county governments and how to find the right historical county for your ancestors

• What vital records you will find at the courthouse

• What to look for in property and estate records, as well as an introduction to court records

• How to find the records you want and what to do with them once you find them

Plus: You’ll have instructor Sunny Jane Morton there to answer your questions and guide you through each step of the way.
