The Clallam County Genealogical Society (CCGS) will host a three-part seminar featuring Judy G. Russell, scheduled for 9:15 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9, on Zoom.

The three sessions will include “Revelers, Hog killers, and Disobedient Children,” “Landing The Ancestors: Federal and State Land Records,” and “Landing the Fourths: Proving a Case with Court, Land, and DNA Evidence.”

Russell is a genealogist with a law degree whose lectures provide understanding of the arcane and sometimes mystifying legal concepts and terminology that our ancestors lived by.

Cost is $50 for CCGS members, and $55 for non-members and at the door. Early bird registration (save $10) began Oct. 1 and closes Tuesday, Oct. 15. Prepaid registration by check or Paypal ends Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Calling herself “The Legal Genealogist,” Russell said, “Without understanding the context in which events took place and the records that were created, we miss so much of both the significance and the flavor of what happened.”

She is one of the more popular speakers for genealogical societies and national events, CCGS members note, adding that her lectures reflect her legal background and are always interesting, educational and fun to listen to.

The program will be available to watch at the CCGS Research Center, 403 E. Eighth St., Port Angeles, where refreshments will be served during the breaks, or watch at home via Zoom.
