Stomping Grounds: Tracing your Chester County Ancestral Lands

Land records can be a genealogist’s super weapon. However, many tend to underutilize them because they aren’t sure how to find them, how to read them (they’re typically chock-full of intimidating legal jargon), and what to do with the information they contain. Learn the basics of using land records to trace your Chester County ancestors, learn if/how their lands were involved in the Revolutionary War, and learn how sometimes we are even able to locate family lands in the present day.

This event will be recorded, and a link to the recording will be emailed to all registrants.
