About those misteaks…
Sigh... Typos are never any fun. Especially the ones you discover just after a blog post has been published and emailed to thousands of subscribers. So... some of the links in the post about upcoming August-September events were wrong. They're right online. So if...
Coming up: August-September 2022
Upcoming presentations It's been a busy summer for The Legal Genealogist, and that's not changing any time soon. Between individual presentations, institute courses and -- sigh -- some very long overdue repairs on my house where a contractor suddenly wanted to start...
When life is still crazy…
More nature! So... The Legal Genealogist's life has not calmed down one bit. One full-week institute all of last week. Another full-week institute all of next week. And, in between, a quick trip to Mississippi to speak to the Mississippi Genealogical Society, followed...
