Erath County Genealogical Society is pleased to host Dr. Deborah Liles at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20 at the Dublin Public Library.
Debbie will discuss how to find and use Probate Records in your family history research. Have you wondered what happened to an individual’s property after death and how that was decided? Probate records provide insight into the life of the deceased.
Dr. Liles is the W. K. Gordon Endowed Chair of Texas History at Tarleton State University, Stephenville, a Fellow of the West Texas Historical Association, and a Fellow of the East Texas Historical Association. She is the author of multiple articles, chapters, and books that examine slavery, women, ranching, and the Texas frontier including three co-edited anthologies, Women in Civil War Texas, winner of the Liz Carpenter and Ottis Lock awards; Texas Women and Ranching, winner of the Liz Carpenter and the Temple-Vick awards; and African Americans in Central Texas History.
