Hello everyone,
The Collin County Genealogical Society is back! Via Zoom. Our first meeting of the year will take place September 9, 2020, at 6:30pm. We will have a few minutes of business and then present our program — all via Zoom. We hope everyone will join us, especially our members who cannot normally attend meetings in person.
Details about Zoom will be forthcoming.
Our program will be a recorded presentation from the Texas State Genealogical Society’s 2019 Conference:
Orphans, Infants, and Minors: Genealogy Nuggets, and Pitfalls in Guardianship Records
Speaker: Melissa Corn Finlay
What happened when an ancestor died and his heirs could not legally manage their inheritance? A guardian was appointed. But, don’t be confused or led astray by the terms used in these records such as orphan, infant, and minor! Learn more about guardianship records, the legal terms used, and the genealogy nuggets that can be found in this unique group of records.
Melissa Corn Finlay gained a passion for genealogy research at a young age, asking for rides to the Idaho State Archives before she even had a driver’s license. She earned her BA in Family History-Genealogy from Brigham Young University and is an Accredited Genealogist (R). Learn more about Melissa on her website www.boundlessgenealogy.com.
Please join us!
