Thank you!
Today’s topic was very insightful and necessary for researchers interested in documenting Native Americans. Although I knew most of the resources for California, it never occurred to me that court records may be useful for finding clues for Indian women. It was a very good topic.
What a great seminar so interesting and informative but also a great history lesson! As always Judy did a great job of presentation. Thank you so much
I don’t have early Spanish territory ancestors, but Judy makes anything so interesting. I love listening to her, and her handouts are always great.
Learn many new resources about Spanish influences in land, court, women’s rights, land grants, particularly in town planning. I recognize it when I visited Puerto Rico.
Judy was a delight to listen to and her animated expression of speech made the topic very interesting and the time fly by!!!
It is Judy Russell, what more needs to be said. Even with not Spanish heritage, I still learned from the program.
Judy Russell is so very good at explaining these unique and unusual record sets, where to find them and why we should invest time in digging them out!
