"Will" They Be There? Using Probate Records
Featured Guest Speaker: Ann Staley, CG®, CGL

She is the Education Chair for the Jacksonville Genealogical Society, Membership Chair for the Genealogical Speakers Guild, on the faculty of The National Institute for Genealogical Studies, a volunteer of the Florida State Genealogical Society, and author of several articles for the NGS Magazine.
