“Even today, few people escape mention in court records at some time during their lives as witnesses, litigants, jurors, appointees to office, or as petition signatories.” *
You might be surprised to learn what types of cases are brought before Texas courts. The best news is that what happens in court is documented! Take a look back at court records to learn more about your Texas ancestors with noted expert John Sellers leading the way in the Texas Research Essentials track of the Texas Institute of Genealogical Research (TIGR) in Austin, June 10-14.
John Sellers discusses everything from courthouse etiquette to the types of courts (state vs. federal). What are the procedures for these courts? What types of records are available and how do you find them? What distinguishes Texas courts from other states?
