Become a Better Genealogist

Last evening, at the monthly meeting of the Tri-City Genealogical Society, the members learned about the Genealogical Proof Standard as well as how to improve their research methods through education. Here are some of the websites that can be accessed to enhance what was presented last evening.

The presentation was actually a prelude to one coming in May that will explain how to implement the Genealogical Proof Standard by creating a work plan based on the Research Process, write Research Notes and complete the project by writing a Research Report.

Part 2 of last night’s presentation will be given on May 8th.
