Susan Skilton "Land Grants"

The Southern California Genealogical Society's Webinar series hosts Susan Skilton, who will present "Researching Land Grants in California" on Saturday, April 6, from 10 to 11 a.m. Susan explores the available resources for different historical time periods in California, including pre-statehood land grants, homesteads, squatter land, mining claims, records at the Bureau of Land Management, and fire insurance maps. Participants will examine how such records inform and enrich family history research.
