PVGS Presents...

June 8 is the last meeting of PVGS for our 2023-24 season. We will meet on Zoom at 2:00PM and Amber Oldenberg is our speaker. Her presentation is " Land Records: A family Historians, 'Bread & Butter'. Amber is a previous PVGS speaker, she gave a presentation to PVGS members & guests on November 11th, 2023 when she spoke to us on the 'Overland Trail" and migration patterns.

This Saturday, Amber will remind us that land records are one of the major record groups used by genealogists when performing US research due to their extensive coverage, availability, and valuable information. During this presentation you will learn 'why' land records are a valuable source for locating family in a particular place & time. Many free adult males living in the U.S. before the mid-1800's owned land. Therefore, land records usually pre-date vital records and may pre-date census and church records in some areas. Amber gives extensive genealogical research and her presentations are always inspiring!

If you are not a member of PVGS you can send an email to Raul Rodriguez at raulncal@aol.com for the Zoom link.
