Build Your Case at the Courthouse - Dallas Genealogical Society

Professional genealogist Larry W. Thomas invites you inside the courthouse to uncover your family’s past. Estate files, land deeds, and other court records hold a wealth of hidden details about ancestors’ lives. Though each state and community has its own legal quirks, the records themselves are remarkably consistent—and often packed with clues that bring history into sharper focus. This program will show you what to look for, where to find it, and how to use these resources to enrich your family history research.

Join Dallas Genealogical Society on the first Saturday of the month (Sep-May) to hear a free genealogy speaker and learn new ways to find YOUR family history. Hospitality is provided at 10:30 a.m. followed by a short business meeting at 11 a.m. followed shortly by the FREE educational presenter.

Can't make it in person? Join the meeting online through the DGS website.
