On Saturday, Oct. 12, at 9:45 am, Larry Cates will present “An Introduction to Wills and Estates for Family History.”
Clallam County Genealogical Society will host the event. The program will be available via Zoom and all are invited to join. In this presentation, Cates will discuss two major ways property is passed between generations and how the accounts of a deceased person are reconciled, how the records can be located and accessed. Learn about their types, structure, and implications for family history. Probate records provide information, not just about the family of the deceased, but also about the relationships and roles of many others in the community.
