    This webinar was very informative. I have not delved into court records very much in my familiar research so I learned a lot of useful information for when I do have to or would like to research using that resource.

    Judy’s talks are always insightful and entertaining. Now I’m motivated to investigate my ancestor’s experience when he served on a jury in Western NY in 1803 while apparently also serving as his town’s Commissioner of Highways.

    Very interesting information. Deep digging and lots of time required to get these kinds of records.
