English civil and church records as well as census records make doing research back to 1837 feasible. Pre-1837 requires more skill and a greater knowledge of the large variety of little known resources to conduct this research, which can bring you back to the 1600's and beyond. Presented by Clair Brisson-Banks. Sponsored by the Wichita Genealogical Society.
