“Probate, More Than a Will”
By Kelvin Meyers

Kelvin Meyers will lecture on “Probate, More than a Will” – Mr. Meyers is a popular speaker to many genealogical societies and family associations throughout Texas and brings a real knowledge of social sciences, history, genealogy, and “P.I.” techniques  to his work as a forensic genealogist.  His genealogical research includes that of one family, an entire surname or a direct line of descent or ascent.

“Most persons in America, who lived to adulthood, left some type of an estate to be administered.  Some left wills, some did not, either way if there was land or large amounts of personal property, this estate had to be disposed of.  The records of probate can be some of the most fruitful for the genealogist.  Wills, distrubutions, administrations, inventories, are all vital parts of the probate process and full of genealogical information; these are the things that will be discussed.”
