The Southington Genealogical Society is pleased to sponsor a genealogy program by Jill Martin entitled “Beginning Legal Research for Genealogists” on Tuesday, March 26th, 2019 at 7:00 pm at The Orchards, 34 Hobart St in Southington, CT.

This session will teach you how to perform  basic legal research in a law library, and find cases and statutes on the state and federal level, providing a new set of resources to search for family history and to understand the laws your family lived under.

Jill Martin is a professor and chair of the Legal Studies Department at Quinnipiac University, and is admitted to the practice of law in Connecticut and New York.  .  She completed the BU program, and has attended IGHR and the National Institute of Genealogical Research.  She has also presented at University and genealogical societies. She has presented at the New England Regional Genealogy Conference for a number of years,  on New York genealogy, citizenship, and using legal resources, and will be presenting a similar program at NERGC this April.

The meeting will be held at The Orchards at Southington in their second floor community room at 7:00 pm. There is no admission charge and no obligation to become a member. No reservations are necessary.
