Live, in-depth, and interactive
genealogy webinars
Reconstruct historical communities by following land ownership over time. Records can be traced backwards from today, forwards from the original owner, and points in between.
Land records can determine where your ancestor lived, but maps can provide clues to their lives, their church, business activity, access to transportation, and most importantly who lived nearby. Learn how to use websites and software to overlay old maps on top of modern maps to help extract this information.
Deeds are valuable for genealogy, but other land records such as processioning, ejectments, homestead exemptions, and foreclosures can contain that valuable information you’ve been searching for.
Historical maps can help identify your ancestor's neighbors, migration routes, churches, where they might be buried, and much more. This lecture will review the types of maps available online, where to find them, what they mean, and how to use various free mapping tools to combine different types of maps and data in order to create your own maps based on your research.

Artificial Intelligence tools can be used to quickly extract and organize information from individual land records or multiple records simultaneously, including all the parties involved and their roles, metes and bounds, public land descriptions, geographic features, and neighbors.

Are you just starting to research your North Carolina ancestors, or have you researched for a while and hit brick walls and need a refresher? This webinar starts at the very beginning with the founding of the area now called North Carolina, and continues forward through history noting many of the types of records created both common and obscure, how they can help your research, and where to find them both online and in record repositories.
From 1748 to 1777 all land grants in the upper half of NC were issued by Lord Granville instead of the Colonial government. Although similar to Colonial grants, they require different techniques for finding and understanding them. They can also yield valuable information not found elsewhere.
