Research in the Dakotas – North and South with Jim Johnson
The Dakotas have a rich and varied history. Native Americans, Germans from Russia, and many other ethnic and religious groups settled in the Dakotas. This class will provide a timeline of Dakota History to help you determine where to look for records pertaining to your ancestor. The area passed through many political distinctions before finally becoming part of the United States. We will show you where to find records both online, and in repositories for North and South Dakota records from the 1700s to the present day.

Research in Texas the “Lone Star State” with Jim Johnson
If you have ancestors who lived in, or passed through Texas, you are in luck! There are excellent genealogical records of many different types available for your genealogical use. We will show you where to find birth records, actual online death certificates, Texas confederate military records, immigration and naturalization records, cemetery records and many more types of records. Many counties have published land records and plat maps to show where your ancestors may have purchased land. You will also learn where to find early Texas newspaper records. Even if you do not have Texas ancestors this class can be useful to help you learn how to find these records in any state.
