Creating Research Plans Webinar My webinar on “Creating Research Plans” has just been processed and is ready for download. I discuss how to create your research plans, how to set goals, how to not set goals, when you are proving and when you are not, and other key concepts. Of course, we have a few charts as well. Our attempt is to be down-to-earth and practical. I realize that most genealogists are not going to write journal articles, however our research needs to be as thorough as possible and our analysis and method well-thought out or we’re not going to get the best possible story on great-great-grandma that there is. This presentation is geared towards intermediate researchers, but advanced beginners might get some benefit from it as well. […]
Genealogical research many times is more about establishing a relationship between two people than it is determining a date precisely. Connecting a parent to a child is usually more important than proving someone was born on the 15th or the 16th of January of 1823. Knowing a date of birth to the month is usually sufficient. It’s connecting a husband to a wife or a mother to a daughter that is usually key and where we don’t have wiggle room like we do with dates. In genealogy, it’s often about the relationship more than it is the date. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
