I subscribe to a free daily email service called EVERTON'S FAMILY HISTORY NEWSLINE Sponsored by: The Genealogical Helper. To subscribe: http://www.everton.com/subscribe I get short but informative article on a different topic of genealogical research each day. Thursday's really took me by surprise! I'd never heard of this and can't say I've ever heard anyone discuss it either so I wanted to share it. Have you ever thought of searching Appellate Court Records? Nor had I! Seems they are printed and arranged chronologically by court, with alphabetic indexes to the parties involved. These records are typically found in legal libraries of law schools, large legal firms, and state governments. Has anyone in your family ever contested a will? Well, this is where that wealth of information will be found. I understand a lot more of these are going online, too. Here are some links to explore further; the last a link to Everton for reprints.
