Researching Courthouse Records,
Step-by-Step With more than 25 years of personal genealogy research, Annette has an avid curiosity of history and family which combines for zealous and exhaustive efforts. Plus she spends many hours each week dedicated to volunteering for online research requests through Facebook groups and her memberships with the Tulsa Genealogical Society and the Muskogee County Genealogical Society.
Her professional career is in the legal world which gives her the opportunity for investigation, insight into the inner workings of the courts, and the availability of courthouse records. By attending national conferences, regional workshops and training events with nationally recognized teachers she is able to incorporate her learning into her personal research and research for others. In this way she unites her years of research and education to guide others down the road to their own beginnings. * This podcast was created using "Paper-to-Podcast Script Generator" AI prompt by Steve Little in ChatGPT 4o, (https://AIGenealogyInsights.com/) and Google's NotebookLM "Audio Overview".
