The Art of Slow Genealogy

  • Presenter: Tara Shymanski
  • Date: Tuesday, September 17, 2024
  • Time: 7:00 PM Central
  • Webinar Description: Are you a genealogy tortoise or a hare? The hare rushes to find new documents and add to its tree but genealogy tortoises slow down create more accurate, thorough family trees. This method suggests ways to slow down by using a research log to enter all your findings, reading and transcribing records, citing your sources, analyze the records. As you slow down and consider each finding you will build a more accurate family history
