ISGS News:  Upcoming Webinars

 

Join us on Tuesday, April 9, at 8:00 PM Central, for a fabulous program presented by Michael John Neill. Mr. Neill has been doing genealogy for over 20 years and is well known among other researchers. He has written on genealogical research and methods since 1987 for a wide variety of genealogical publications including Ancestry, Genealogical Computing, Heritage Quest, and many others.

 

Using Bureau of Land Management Tract Books This program will focus on using unindexed tract books as part of the patent application process. Organized geographically, these books can contain clues not listed in the original patent or patent application, and include the names of those who began land claims but did not complete them.
