Proving Parentage with Probate Records: North Carolina Inheritance Laws and Customs (Webinars)
Presented by the North Carolina Genealogical Society.
We recognize, in the abstract, that half our ancestors were female. Property law may have masked their identities, but, if we understand those laws, we can direct our research to the records and analyses that help us unmask them.
Helen Leary’s series of webinars provide a solid background on the history of North Carolina and the available records. This is a re-broadcast of a presentation from 2013. The handout for this presentation will be available to the public during the viewing period, and will not be downloadable or printable.
