August 2021 Webinar
Shaky Leaf Syndrome: Using Website-Generated Hints More Effectively
- Presenter: Sara Cochran
- Date: Tuesday, August 17, 2021
- Time: 7:00 PM Central
- Webinar Description: Indexing, optical character recognition, and computer algorithms make finding obscure records about our families easier than ever! Unfortunately, computers can’t distinguish between people of the same name who lived in different places or in different times. Using real examples, we’ll practice evaluating hints and attaching the keepers to our trees.
