Genealogy and the Law

The law was responsible for the creation of many of the records genealogists use and governed our ancestors' lives in so many ways. Learn how knowing the law helps us understand our ancestor's actions and makes us better genealogists.

This program aligns with YCL’s information and media  literacy framework,  which addresses the ability to seek, evaluate, use  and create information effectively to achieve personal, social,  occupational and educational goals.
