Setting the Record Straight: Advanced Documentation

Sorting fact from fiction can be one of the toughest parts of family history research. Join us for a program designed for genealogists who want to strengthen their research skills and tackle misinformation head-on. We’ll explore the Genealogical Proof Standard, discuss strategies for analyzing evidence, and learn how to properly cite and document sources. The session will also address ways to correct errors that circulate online and in public family trees. Perfect for researchers ready to take their documentation skills to the next level, this workshop will help you build a stronger, more accurate family history.
