DeniseSpurlock.jpgNEXT MEETING: June 3rd- 

"Give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above . . ." was something our ancestors craved. Many came from places where they were not permitted to own land, but in America, everything was different. Some people homesteaded to get their real estate, some received Bounty Land for serving in a War, some received Land Grants from their home countries, and some just worked themselves and their family members to get enough money to buy a place of their own. However your ancestor got his (and it usually was his, not hers, except in cases of inheritance), the land records provide genealogists with clues to the family, financial issues, employment, relationships, etc. and are treasure troves for those of us seeking to become more familiar with our multi-great-grandparents. Denise Spurlock, treasurer and membership chair of the Southern Calif. Chapter of the Assoc. of Professional Genealogists, will walk us through some of the secrets found in these records and tell us how to dig them up for ourselves.

 
We meet at the
