Have you lost an ancestor between 1780 and 1840? Often connecting our ancestors to colonists can be quite a task. Learn how to employ probate, land, census, tax, and other compiled records to help bridge the gap.
For more than 20 years Joshua has been discovering – and sharing – the incredible connections that can be made through genealogy and family history. As host of the popular series Genealogy Roadshow (PBS) he crisscrosses the United Stat

Great background overview survey at the beginning.
Great Info
Great info.

Great information, but presentation was too much too fast. Left early due to that. Will rewatch when I can pause it and take notes while not being so rushed. I was unable to take notes, pay attention and actually absorb what was being presented at the pace it was going.

Great topic, excellent presentation. Will want to review it a second time.
Great topic, extremely helpful info, relevant slides–loved it all! He seemed to talk pretty fast and whipped through his slides, presumably because he had so much material to cover in a limited time. This is one webinar I will have to view again. So glad I am a member so I can watch when I have more time!
Great webinar on a topic that I know very little about!
Great webinar with a lot of detail

He gave lots of info
He is a great speaker and his handout is so detailed and will be very helpful in moving forward.
He is such a knowledgeable and well-prepared presenter. I am thankful for the helpful research suggestions.
He talks so fast sometimes it’s hart to get everytihg he says. I think mostly because he has so much information to give out.
He was excellent on a difficult topic.
Helpful information from a talented speaker
Helpful introduction to this topic.
His delivery was great, well paced, clear, goot content, didn’t babble on, and didn’t use his famliy research throughout the content. I always like Josh’s webinars.
How about a 10!
I joined an hour late because I was told that Arizona goes by Pacific Time and so I logged in at 12:00 : ( That being said, I was fascinated by what I was listening to. I know Josh from Genealogy Roadshow and was always intrigued by his explanations on that program and the little bit I heard, today was no exception!.
I am a registrar for two lineage societies and was so grateful for this particular webinar! Joshua was articulate and gave me many new sources to look at.
Thank you!
I could listen to Josh all day long! (swoon!) I always learn new things listening to Josh. Excellent webinar. Please have Josh on for more webinars.
I could only get the last 1/2 hour due to full house….the part I listened to was great!
I enjoy listening to Joshua Taylor – He is so knowledgable!!! I loved his show too.
I enjoyed the examples that expanded on the sources discussed.
I have heard this presented on different occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed them. He is well spoken, knowledgeable.
I learned a lot about researching this early time period.
I learned about several resources that i had not known about before.
I learned many things. Thank you. Great presentation, too.
I learned so much. The material was presented in a very clear way. Josh is a terrific speaker. Thank you.

I love listening to Joshua! He is the best! Wonderful webinar. Thank you.
I loved this Webinar! I’d like to see more similar ones.
I might have to watch this one again–so much was covered!
I really appreciated D Joshua Taylor’s insight into alternative ways to use the few records we have from this time period. Bravo!
I really enjoyed this webinar. There was so much information to absorb, that I would love it if this became a series of webinars, each one covering one of his main bullet points.
i thought it was going to be same old same old and it was so far better than that – of course – considering the presenter – i should not have been surprised. So good!
I took lots of notes. Lots of great tips and ideas to research!
i want to give Josh Taylor’s webinar a 10
I wish there was an easy answer for this time period. Thanks for the hints.
Identified some sources I am excited to check. Thank you!
I’ll be watching this webinar again & again!
I’ll have to watch it again to absorb all the information.
I’m starting a new family line, my dad’s, and this is an entirely new area for me. Thanks.
interesting
It was a wonderful webinar. I learned things that will help me with my research immediately.
It was excellent. Put so much in excellent context. thank you
It was fabulous.
It was really a 6. Excellent
It was very good. I would have liked to have more examples pertaining to Southern states which did not have the same types of records as in Massachusetts and most of New England.
It’s a winner!! Such excellent education on analysis, planning, processing, adding in historical details… I always learn so much from these webinars! Josh is an excellent presenter as well, laying out the research plan and tips etc. Thank you so much for another very educational webinar!!

Josh is great! Attended one of his classes at GRIP in Pittsburgh and did not want to this webinar.
Josh is my favorite presenter! Wow, this has really helped me see where I need to research further on all those 4th -6th great grandparents in that time period! Thanks
Josh is never a let down – he says he could talk all day – well, I think we all could listen to him guide us through the records all day;-))
Josh is very knowledgeable and a very good speaker. I have an ancestor born in New Jersey in 1801, and was hopeful to get some tips on additional resources available online to search for his birth. I did learn that I had covered everything available on line and now need to visit libraries, etc. in New Jersey to look for possible documentation on this birth.
Josh never fails – he’s always full of great information.
Josh really knows his stuff! A lot of information to think about.
Josh Taylor always has a great knowledge of whatever subject he is presenting. Well done, concise, informative.
Josh Taylor is a great and thorough speaker. His slides are amazing. Although I have no direct lines coming to the United States until 1865, as I expand my research, I may find ancestors who arrived at an earlier time through an indirect line. Thank you.
Josh Taylor is a wonderful speaker,, so knowledgeable and organized. Thanks for having him!
Josh Taylor is ALWAYS a great speaker! This timeperiod is exactly where I’m at with my research so this topic is especially timely!!
Josh Taylor is always excellent. Good topic.
Josh Taylor’s talks are always awesome.
Josh Taylor’s webinar are always wonderful. I do appreciate Legacy for hosting this VERY important topic. These are tough years to research–especially in the southern states like TN, KY, MO, GA, AL, etc. We need all the help we can get.
Josh Taylor’s webinars are wonderful. Always so much information.
Josh was his usual outstanding self on a great topic.
Joshua always covers his topics so well you always learn something
Joshua always excels in his presentations.

Joshua is always excellent, no matter what his subject.
Joshua is an excellent presenter and always covers topics thoroughly.
Joshua Is one of my favorite presenters, always get a long list of things to follow up on.
Joshua Taylor’s webinars are always great and always learn.
Just getting back into doing genealogical research after a few years, so this was good for me to listen to. Sometimes very dry, but that can be the nature of genealogy, even though you have lots of interest in the topic.
Learned so many sources to check for my early 18th century ancestors
Learned some new strategies & reminded me of some I haven’t pursued as yet.
Liked how he packed a lot of specific info about sources into such a short time. Very clear, well organized.
liked the quick history lesson of what may have affected ancestors. excellent breakdown of categories where you can find information.
Lots of good ideas, thank you.
Lots of good information.

More, please!!
Most informative. Thank you.
Mr. Taylor is always great to listen to in a webinar. Lots of information, easy to follow, but not overly simplistic. Great resources and comfortable in presenting.
Great job! Great webinar!
One of the things I learned were new tips on using DAR resources.
One to re-watch multiple times!
One to watch again.
Outstanding webinar. Very well organized. Josh’s is a Professional Genealogist. Well above my level and needs. Enjoyed it and I will look for his other recorded webinars.
PLEASE continue to bring Josh back for more webinars! He has given me a few more leads for my elusive MORRIS family of NY. Thanks.
Rated a 4 only because Josh rushed through some of his slides too fast for us to take down key points or even see them. I wish the section surveying the decades with the history & economic impacts had been extended one more decade (1840-1850) to help us bridge the gap between the 1840 & 1850 census. It felt like a 90-minute presentation, compressed into an hour. Apart from that, an outstanding presentation.
Received some idea that I’ve not tried. Thank you
Rich in information. Particularly like how understanding the context of the times is so important: economic panic, spread of new religions, understanding limitations of records. All very practical ways to think about where and how to find records. Thank you!
So much great information from Josh! I’m going to look into any books he has written. Thanks for providing this webinar. 🙂
So much great information!
SO MUCH great information. So glad Josh was willing to share it with us.
So much information I will need to use the syllabus and maybe even watch it again. Fantastic!
So much information! I have so many research questions to formulate now! Where to begin. Thank you, thank you!
Such a wealth of information. Thank you
Such great information and examples! Great syllabus, as well! Thanks so much!
Superb! Probably the best webinar I’ve attended. Great instructor. Well organized. Good presentation.
Great content
Terrific! Thank you so much
Thank you! Josh’s presentations are all amazing and you definitely don’t want to miss them. ; )
Thank you.
Thanks for excellent information.
The events in history put much of my ancestors’ migration in context. Please consider hosting a webinar continuing the timeline of history. For instance, how did events such as the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, other economic downturns and depressions, etc., affect migration patterns?
The information that Joshua presented will help me very much in my research.
The webinar provided me with lots of new information and sources to help bridge my research gap. As a DAR member, I was thrilled to see our online resources included.
The webinar was great
The webinar was well organized and informative.
The webinar was well-organized and presented. I appreciated the overview of potential resources and the examples how they might be useful in locating/documenting ancestors.
There were many good ideas for researching this specific time period.
This is the type of webinar I love, love, love! Solid information that will make me a better (more thoughtful) genealogist and further my research abilities.
This topic could fill a whole week of webinars!! Great distillation of concepts and ideas.
This was a very helpful webinar, as I am preparing to take another go at a previously unanswered research question based during this time period. Many resources were mentioned today that I will be adding to my locality guides and research plan.
This was great. I would love to have another session on the same topic and earlier in time. Thank you.
This was my very first Legacy Seminar and I was thoroughly pleased. I have been doing my own genealogy and genealogy for others for 10 years. I am getting ready to work for the census, but I am sure that after that I will get the membership so that I have the many resources at my fingertips as I continue this hobby and
profession. Thanks again.
This was so very helpful
This was very helpful for me because I thought that I couldn’t go back any further in my tree so i am looking forward to trying all the tips provided. Thanks for a great webinar!
Too much stuff. too little time. My old brain fried.
Top notch! Extremely informative even for a long-time researcher. Thanks!
Very clear and well presented information. Many thanks.
Very detailed presentation with an excellent example at the end. Checked for a couple databases he mentioned and my local university subscribes! Unfortunately, the university is closed for Covid-19…hoping for better days ahead!
very good
Very good webinar! Great ideas for a really tough time period.

Very knowledgeable speaker
Very thorough, very knowledgeable, very well spoken! Thanks!
Very thorough.
very useful information. Would like Josh to do a similar webinar for pre-Revolutionary War era 1760s-mid-1770s – to understand better what records would have been created and held domestically (in America) in contrast to records created for Great Britain, while the country was still considered British North America (even as sentiments were shifting).
Very well informed speaker, clear and easy to follow
Very well organized.
Was very informative
Well done. Very informative.
Well presented – Josh is a pro! Lots of good ideas for further research.
well-organized, comprehensive survey along with commentary to support the points, Josh is always well-spoken. This will encourage me to work on my ‘early’ ancestors’ line again.
What an amazing amount of information and suggestions in such a short space of time!
Will watch again, lots of good information!
Wonderful information.
Wonderful information. Thank you so much!
Wonderful webinar. I will ALWAYS sign up for a Josh Taylor talk.
Wonderful! Thank you! Always enjoy Josh’s webinars. I have Many SC ancestors who were Baptist so thanks especially for that info!!
Wonderful! Love D. Joshua Taylor webinars . Only thing is I wish the audio was better though I understand it’s because so many fellow Genealogists wanted to be a part of it. Thanks again for all your hard work Go to Webinar! Mahalo!
Would like more information in the handout about the events discussed at the beginning – panics, etc. Couldn’t write fast enough to get the dates and explanations.
Before the Revolutionary War, geography, topography and a strong indigenous people presence shaped migration patterns. This webinar covers the dominant push-pull forces and challenges for colonial migration. Using maps and other graphics, the major migration routes by region will be described: New England, mid-Atlantic and southward from Virginia. Famous paths such as the Kings Highway, the Great Valley Road, and the Fall Line Road as well as less well-known paths such as the Greenwood Path and the Forbidden Path will be covered. Using a set of case studies, the process of locating clues in local histories, land records, and vital records is unfolded.

Researching ancestors who lived in colonial New England can be challenging. This webinar begins by tracing settlement patterns, setting the stage for understanding key records and where to find them. For the 17th century, many unique published resources exist to help the family researcher. During the colonial years, several conflicts such as King Philip’s War and the Seven Years War affected settlement and thus the surviving records. The 18th century culminated in the Revolutionary War, but also saw the continued growth of settlement and ultimately resources for the family historian.

Kentucky and Virginia Tax Lists – 5 ½ Strategies for Identifying That Elusive Early Southerner
Kentucky and Virginia have some of the most complete tax lists in the United States. Their value in research often goes unrecognized by even the experienced researcher. Tax lists can be a primary tool for solving difficult research problems and are invaluable when used with other records. Learn how to access original records, to best organize them for study, and to interpret their meaning. The lecture will use case studies to show their use in tracking individuals across time, estimating birth dates and death dates, separating individuals of the same name, determining the identity of other family members, and using them as substitutes for deeds, court records, and estate records in burned counties.

Good job, Josh!
Good leads on multiple topics. Can’t wait until on site research is available again.
Got the clues to methodology I was looking for. Re-assured me that the conclusions I’ve been drawing from sketchy records are not atypical.
Great – opens up lots of avenue to check
great — will rewatch it again! lots of information
Great background overview survey at the beginning.
Great Info
Great info.
Great information!!!
Great information, but presentation was too much too fast. Left early due to that. Will rewatch when I can pause it and take notes while not being so rushed. I was unable to take notes, pay attention and actually absorb what was being presented at the pace it was going.
Great instructor
Great lecture!
Great new ideas for research
Great overview of the historical context for this period and the records and research strategies. Josh packed a lot of tremendously useful information into this webinar!
Great presentation!
Great presentation! I wish there had been time to address more questions.

great suggesitons
Great topic, excellent presentation. Will want to review it a second time.
Great topic, extremely helpful info, relevant slides–loved it all! He seemed to talk pretty fast and whipped through his slides, presumably because he had so much material to cover in a limited time. This is one webinar I will have to view again. So glad I am a member so I can watch when I have more time!
Great webinar on a topic that I know very little about!
Great webinar with a lot of detail

Have some new ideas for research..
He gave lots of info
He is a great speaker and his handout is so detailed and will be very helpful in moving forward.
He is such a knowledgeable and well-prepared presenter. I am thankful for the helpful research suggestions.
He talks so fast sometimes it’s hart to get everytihg he says. I think mostly because he has so much information to give out.
He was excellent on a difficult topic.
Helpful information from a talented speaker
Helpful introduction to this topic.
His delivery was great, well paced, clear, goot content, didn’t babble on, and didn’t use his famliy research throughout the content. I always like Josh’s webinars.
How about a 10!
I joined an hour late because I was told that Arizona goes by Pacific Time and so I logged in at 12:00 : ( That being said, I was fascinated by what I was listening to. I know Josh from Genealogy Roadshow and was always intrigued by his explanations on that program and the little bit I heard, today was no exception!.
I am a registrar for two lineage societies and was so grateful for this particular webinar! Joshua was articulate and gave me many new sources to look at.
Thank you!
I could listen to Josh all day long! (swoon!) I always learn new things listening to Josh. Excellent webinar. Please have Josh on for more webinars.
I could only get the last 1/2 hour due to full house….the part I listened to was great!
I enjoy listening to Joshua Taylor – He is so knowledgable!!! I loved his show too.
I enjoyed the examples that expanded on the sources discussed.
I have heard this presented on different occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed them. He is well spoken, knowledgeable.
I learned a lot about researching this early time period.
I learned about several resources that i had not known about before.
I learned many things. Thank you. Great presentation, too.
I learned so much. The material was presented in a very clear way. Josh is a terrific speaker. Thank you.
I love listening to Joshua – he is the genealogist that I wish I could be. Thanks.
I love listening to Joshua! He is the best! Wonderful webinar. Thank you.
I loved this Webinar! I’d like to see more similar ones.
I might have to watch this one again–so much was covered!
I really appreciated D Joshua Taylor’s insight into alternative ways to use the few records we have from this time period. Bravo!
I really enjoyed this webinar. There was so much information to absorb, that I would love it if this became a series of webinars, each one covering one of his main bullet points.
i thought it was going to be same old same old and it was so far better than that – of course – considering the presenter – i should not have been surprised. So good!
I took lots of notes. Lots of great tips and ideas to research!
i want to give Josh Taylor’s webinar a 10
I wish there was an easy answer for this time period. Thanks for the hints.
Identified some sources I am excited to check. Thank you!
I’ll be watching this webinar again & again!
I’ll have to watch it again to absorb all the information.
I’m starting a new family line, my dad’s, and this is an entirely new area for me. Thanks.
interesting
It was a wonderful webinar. I learned things that will help me with my research immediately.
It was excellent. Put so much in excellent context. thank you
It was fabulous.
It was really a 6. Excellent
It was very good. I would have liked to have more examples pertaining to Southern states which did not have the same types of records as in Massachusetts and most of New England.
It’s a winner!! Such excellent education on analysis, planning, processing, adding in historical details… I always learn so much from these webinars! Josh is an excellent presenter as well, laying out the research plan and tips etc. Thank you so much for another very educational webinar!!
Jaw dropping good! Loved the session.

Josh is great! Attended one of his classes at GRIP in Pittsburgh and did not want to this webinar.
Josh is my favorite presenter! Wow, this has really helped me see where I need to research further on all those 4th -6th great grandparents in that time period! Thanks
Josh is never a let down – he says he could talk all day – well, I think we all could listen to him guide us through the records all day;-))
Josh is very knowledgeable and a very good speaker. I have an ancestor born in New Jersey in 1801, and was hopeful to get some tips on additional resources available online to search for his birth. I did learn that I had covered everything available on line and now need to visit libraries, etc. in New Jersey to look for possible documentation on this birth.
Josh never fails – he’s always full of great information.
Josh really knows his stuff! A lot of information to think about.
Josh Taylor always has a great knowledge of whatever subject he is presenting. Well done, concise, informative.
Josh Taylor is a great and thorough speaker. His slides are amazing. Although I have no direct lines coming to the United States until 1865, as I expand my research, I may find ancestors who arrived at an earlier time through an indirect line. Thank you.
Josh Taylor is a wonderful speaker,, so knowledgeable and organized. Thanks for having him!
Josh Taylor is ALWAYS a great speaker! This timeperiod is exactly where I’m at with my research so this topic is especially timely!!
Josh Taylor is always excellent. Good topic.
Josh Taylor’s talks are always awesome.
Josh Taylor’s webinar are always wonderful. I do appreciate Legacy for hosting this VERY important topic. These are tough years to research–especially in the southern states like TN, KY, MO, GA, AL, etc. We need all the help we can get.
Josh Taylor’s webinars are wonderful. Always so much information.
Josh was his usual outstanding self on a great topic.

Joshua Is one of my favorite presenters, always get a long list of things to follow up on.
Joshua Taylor’s webinars are always great and always learn.
Just getting back into doing genealogical research after a few years, so this was good for me to listen to. Sometimes very dry, but that can be the nature of genealogy, even though you have lots of interest in the topic.
learned a lot
Learned so many sources to check for my early 18th century ancestors
Learned some new strategies & reminded me of some I haven’t pursued as yet.
Liked how he packed a lot of specific info about sources into such a short time. Very clear, well organized.
liked the quick history lesson of what may have affected ancestors. excellent breakdown of categories where you can find information.
Lots of good ideas, thank you.

More, please!!
Most informative. Thank you.
Mr. Taylor is always great to listen to in a webinar. Lots of information, easy to follow, but not overly simplistic. Great resources and comfortable in presenting.
Great job! Great webinar!
One of the things I learned were new tips on using DAR resources.
One to re-watch multiple times!
One to watch again.
Outstanding webinar. Very well organized. Josh’s is a Professional Genealogist. Well above my level and needs. Enjoyed it and I will look for his other recorded webinars.
OUTSTANDING! Well organized and presented.
Outstanding!!
Phenomenal.. I learned alot . Thank you.
PLEASE continue to bring Josh back for more webinars! He has given me a few more leads for my elusive MORRIS family of NY. Thanks.
Rated a 4 only because Josh rushed through some of his slides too fast for us to take down key points or even see them. I wish the section surveying the decades with the history & economic impacts had been extended one more decade (1840-1850) to help us bridge the gap between the 1840 & 1850 census. It felt like a 90-minute presentation, compressed into an hour. Apart from that, an outstanding presentation.
Received some idea that I’ve not tried. Thank you
Rich in information. Particularly like how understanding the context of the times is so important: economic panic, spread of new religions, understanding limitations of records. All very practical ways to think about where and how to find records. Thank you!
So much great information from Josh! I’m going to look into any books he has written. Thanks for providing this webinar. 🙂
So much great information!
SO MUCH great information. So glad Josh was willing to share it with us.
So much information I will need to use the syllabus and maybe even watch it again. Fantastic!
So much information! I have so many research questions to formulate now! Where to begin. Thank you, thank you!
Such a wealth of information. Thank you
Such great information and examples! Great syllabus, as well! Thanks so much!
Superb! Probably the best webinar I’ve attended. Great instructor. Well organized. Good presentation.
Great content
Terrific! Thank you so much
Thank you! Josh’s presentations are all amazing and you definitely don’t want to miss them. ; )
Thank you.
Thanks for excellent information.
The events in history put much of my ancestors’ migration in context. Please consider hosting a webinar continuing the timeline of history. For instance, how did events such as the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, other economic downturns and depressions, etc., affect migration patterns?
The information that Joshua presented will help me very much in my research.
The webinar provided me with lots of new information and sources to help bridge my research gap. As a DAR member, I was thrilled to see our online resources included.
The webinar was great
The webinar was well organized and informative.
The webinar was well-organized and presented. I appreciated the overview of potential resources and the examples how they might be useful in locating/documenting ancestors.
There were many good ideas for researching this specific time period.
This is the type of webinar I love, love, love! Solid information that will make me a better (more thoughtful) genealogist and further my research abilities.
This topic could fill a whole week of webinars!! Great distillation of concepts and ideas.
This was a very helpful webinar, as I am preparing to take another go at a previously unanswered research question based during this time period. Many resources were mentioned today that I will be adding to my locality guides and research plan.
This was great. I would love to have another session on the same topic and earlier in time. Thank you.
This was my very first Legacy Seminar and I was thoroughly pleased. I have been doing my own genealogy and genealogy for others for 10 years. I am getting ready to work for the census, but I am sure that after that I will get the membership so that I have the many resources at my fingertips as I continue this hobby and
profession. Thanks again.
This was so very helpful
This was very helpful for me because I thought that I couldn’t go back any further in my tree so i am looking forward to trying all the tips provided. Thanks for a great webinar!
Too much stuff. too little time. My old brain fried.
Top notch! Extremely informative even for a long-time researcher. Thanks!
Very clear and well presented information. Many thanks.
Very detailed presentation with an excellent example at the end. Checked for a couple databases he mentioned and my local university subscribes! Unfortunately, the university is closed for Covid-19…hoping for better days ahead!
very good

Very knowledgeable speaker
Very thorough, very knowledgeable, very well spoken! Thanks!
Very thorough.
very useful information. Would like Josh to do a similar webinar for pre-Revolutionary War era 1760s-mid-1770s – to understand better what records would have been created and held domestically (in America) in contrast to records created for Great Britain, while the country was still considered British North America (even as sentiments were shifting).
Very well informed speaker, clear and easy to follow
Very well organized.
Was very informative
Well done. Very informative.
Well presented – Josh is a pro! Lots of good ideas for further research.

Will watch again, lots of good information!
Wonderful information.

Wonderful! Thank you! Always enjoy Josh’s webinars. I have Many SC ancestors who were Baptist so thanks especially for that info!!
Wonderful! Love D. Joshua Taylor webinars . Only thing is I wish the audio was better though I understand it’s because so many fellow Genealogists wanted to be a part of it. Thanks again for all your hard work Go to Webinar! Mahalo!
Would like more information in the handout about the events discussed at the beginning – panics, etc. Couldn’t write fast enough to get the dates and explanations.
