Courthouse Records: One Stop Shopping for Family Secrets

Denton TX LDS Stake Center 3000 Old North Road, Denton

Many wonderful stories of individuals and families are told in a well-paced introduction to documents found in courthouses. Birth, death and marriage certificates, probate & wills, land, court case documents and guardianship papers are part of these stories. The benefits of courthouse research become clear to the researcher not familiar with these documents.
