Hi everyone - Just to alert you-all, Legacy Family Tree Webinars are  having another free seminar online regarding Chancery Court records - this is what the advertisement said: Only one court has ever had doing what’s fair as part of its official mission: the chancery court. With different names in different states (and countries), it was often the go-to court for cases of great genealogical value, including divorces, guardianships, real property partition and more. About the presenter: A Certified Genealogist with a law degree, Judy G. Russell is a lecturer, educator and writer who enjoys helping others understand a wide variety of genealogical issues, including the interplay between genealogy and the law. She has a bachelor’s degree in political science and journalism from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and a law degree from Rutgers School of Law-Newark. She has worked as a newspaper reporter, trade association writer, legal investigator, defense attorney, federal prosecutor, law editor and, for more than 20 years, Judy has been an adjunct member of the faculty at Rutgers Law School. Judy is a Colorado native with roots deep in the American south on her mother’s side and entirely in Germany on her father’s side. Visit her website at www.legalgenealogist.com. U.S. Time zones: 2PM Eastern, 1PM Central, 12PM Mountain, 11AM Pacific, 6PM GMT. ........................................................................................................................................................................... The good thing is that while the seminar is being offered at times convenient for US participants, they normally put each seminar online for free for a week. So folks in Aus, N.Z., and Europe can all listen in without having to pay.  After the free week, there's a charge to listen to the presentations.   You can sign up in advance if you'd like to listen as the seminar is being given, or just click on the seminar about 4 hours after it's finished to listen-to/see the recorded version.   I've spoken to several people who said Judy Russell is a wonderful presenter, and this should be a special seminar, worth making an effort to view. Hope this helps someone!! Cheers, Julia M.   PS - the addie to view the information is    familytreewebinars.com  or maybe this will work better   familytreewebinars.com/;webinar_details.php/?webinar_i86   West Briton Transcriptions, 1836-1856 at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wbritonad St. Austell Area History and Genealogy at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~staustell
