Bad Boys Make Headlines
Presented by Jacqi Stevens
Family history pursuits can sometimes lead us to the unexpected. Discover how researching through historic newspapers lead to the story of how a great-great-grandson of America’s revered Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Marshall, ended up on an international crime spree. Crime may not pay, but in hot pursuit of this accidental discovery, our case study will lead us to free and low-cost resources for gleaning newspaper accounts, as well as man other records generated in the course of pursuing the most wanted.
