SUMMARY:Breakout Sessions I- Tracing Your Roots\, Claiming Your Ground: Connecting Genealogy Research and Property Ownership.
DESCRIPTION:This presentation\, "Tracing Your Roots\, Claiming Your Ground: Genealogy &amp\; Property Ownership\," is designed for anyone interested in uncovering their family's past through the lens of land. It will guide attendees through the fundamental principles of genealogical research\, from starting with known information to working backward through generations. Crucially\, the session will highlight the profound connection between family history and property ownership\, demonstrating how vital records\, census data\, and especially detailed land records (deeds\, probate\, tax records\, court documents) can illuminate ancestral lives\, migrations\, and social standing. Attendees will learn where to find these invaluable records\, how to interpret them\, and ultimately\, how to use property history to unlock deeper family stories and overcome genealogical research challenges.
