When most people think about court records in genealogy, they imagine criminal charges, jail time, or dramatic trials. But there’s a quieter, more common type of legal record that can be just as revealing: civil cases. These aren’t about crimes—they’re about everyday disputes, debts, business problems, and personal grievances. And they can open a window into your ancestors’ lives in a way no census or marriage certificate ever could.
From unpaid bills to broken promises, civil cases leave behind a paper trail of who our ancestors trusted, owed, sued, or were sued by. If you’ve never explored civil court records in your research, you’re missing out on one of the richest sources of human detail in family history...
