Wake County Genealogical Society Monthy Meetings for 2022

Join us for the next Virtual Meeting from WCGS!

Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022 @ 6:30pm - Virtual (combined November-December)

Topic:  Finding and Understanding NC Court Records
Speaker: 
David McCorkle

Courts have always dealt with crimes and disputes, but in the past they also handled much more routine items that can be of great interest to your genealogical research.   These include many functions now performed by other government offices such as proving deeds, probate, petitions, taxes, appointment of local officials, licenses, bastardy, manumission – the list goes on.  To complicate things, the type of courts and what areas they were responsible for has changed over time. This discussion will help you know what you can find along with how and where to find it. 
 
A North Carolina native, David is President and founder of NC Historical Records Online (NCHRO), with a mission to provide public online access to images of original records and other relevant information useful to researching North Carolina history and genealogy. He is the creator of NCHRO’s main project: the free website NC Land Grant Images and Data which contains searchable records for all 200,000+ land grants issued by North Carolina, along with close to a million images of original records.
 
This virtual meeting and presentation is open to all, but registration is required.
