An Invitation to Anyone With Ancestors


Pikes Peak Genealogical Society Presents.....

Using U.S. Patent Information to Assist with Genealogy

Ed Storey

Do you have an inventor in your family tree? Did one of your ancestors develop some new process or device and receive a U.S. patent for the invention? The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued about 8.5 million patents since 1790. Currently the USPTO issues about 150,000 patents each year. Most of this patent information is freely available online. Ed Storey shows you how to glean information of genealogical value from U.S. patent records and possibly discover your own family’s Edison.
