Research Cousins: Historic Preservation and Genealogy

While completely different disciplines, historic preservation uses many genealogy methodologies. Researching properties and communities can add richness to any genealogy venture.  And, historic preservation often leads to the creation of documents that can assist the family historian in tracking their ancestors' built environments. Learn how to access these materials and what to expect to glean from them. A basic understanding of historic preservation laws will also be discussed.
