Presentations on farming ancestors tend to focus on those who owned real estate. It can be a challenge to research those farmers who rented their ground, worked as sharecroppers, or those who worked in agriculture as farm laborers. In this presentation we focus on these types of individuals. Farm renters, sharecroppers, and farm laborers tend to leave fewer records–we’ll focus on research strategies directed towards them. They can be challenging to research in a way that landowners are not.

I have a lot of renter farmers in my family history, am looking forward to the presentation.
