Presented by Lisa Medina

Genealogy research is founded in understanding the place and time of our ancestors. Accordingly, land records can be critical for answering the most elusive of research questions. They offer clues for further research, as well as a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors and how they lived. In this lecture, we will uncover the history of how land has been divided, surveyed, granted, claimed and sold in what is now the United States – and how this history can guide genealogical research. We will also review resources for locating land records in your research.

This hybrid program is offered in-person and virtually. Speaker will be in-person.

Doors open at 9:30 a.m.

Register here to attend virtually.

Genealogy events are presented through a partnership between the Carlsbad City Library and the North San Diego County Genealogical Society (NSDCGS).
