The Best Day of Genealogy Lectures.

And I have sat through days and days of lectures, classes, and instructions on genealogy. Yesterday at the annual Ark-La-Tex Genealogical Association in Shreveport Philip B. Adderley gave a series of lectures that were the best that I have ever heard. I enjoyed my day and the lunch sandwich was great.

My briefcase, cane, and coffee cup were in the lecture hall an hour early. I wanted a seat in the front row.

Philip's talks were heavy on the use of land records in genealogy research. Very much confusion in the early days of America. Who had title? When we were running the Native Americans out. Much discussion about who had buyer's rights. Interesting.

The seminar was excellent. The Ark-La-Tex people did their usual great job. Every seat was full. 80 attendees.
