"Using U.S. Land Records in Genealogy"
By Karen Fortin
Land records are an important part of your genealogical toolkit. This presentation will provide an overview of common terms and concepts, explore how land records can help your research, and assist you in locating these valuable resources. The presentations will also share examples showing how to go from finding a deed to finding the land described in it on the modern landscape.
Karen’s passion for history and research led her to an interest in genealogy. She began volunteering with the Pinellas Genealogy Society in Largo, FL in 2012, and was the society’s president from 2014-2017. Karen began providing genealogy and history presentations in 2016 and has lectured at various genealogical societies, public libraries, and other interested organizations. One of her goals is to help people explore historical periods, places, and events so that they can better understand their ancestors and the world in which they lived.
She is a member of: Pinellas Genealogy Society, Florida State Genealogical Society, New England Historic Genealogical Society, New York Biographical and Genealogical Society, National Genealogical Society, Association of Professional Genealogists, and Genealogical Speakers Guild.
