Virtual: Where There Is (or Isn’t) a Will

What to look for, and where, when there isn't a will.

FPL welcomes Judy Russell, The Legal Genealogist, our 2022 genealogy keynote speaker. Using her legal background, she will lead four virtual workshops for genealogists and historians.

Where there's a will, there's a probate.  And often when there isn't a will, there's still a probate.  Understanding the process and finding the records created when our ancestors died can help break through those brick walls.

Judy Russell, The Legal Genealogist, is our 2022 genealogy keynote speaker. She will use her legal background to lead four virtual workshops for genealogists, historians or anyone new to the hobby.  Virtual sessions will be held throughout the day.  Registration is required for each session.
