Rectangular Survey System: Fair & Square by Alice Hoyt Veen
Federal lands have been surveyed according to a “rectangular” or “cadastral” survey system since 1785. If your ancestor patented public domain land, chances are his property was surveyed using this method, and probably was later sold or divided in much the same manner. This presentation includes hands-on practice reading and platting rectangular property descriptions.

For Better or For Worse: Marriage, Separation and Divorce by Carol Darrow
Marriage, separation and divorce have shaped the lives of all of our ancestors and their descendants. What started out as a dream of love and happiness may have turned into a nightmare of arguments, separation, divorce or desertion. Record forms changed over the centuries and finding records of those events, both happy and sad, are the challenge of the genealogist.
