How do you research?

This month's Family History Tips and Tools will be a chance to quiz a panel of GSV members about how they research. Partly a discussion of research strategies, partly a good stickybeak into what others are doing, the session will ask each panel member a series of questions about how they build their family trees and why they do it that way.

GSV members Penny Mercer, Jenny Redmond and Claire Johnson will be there to answer questions like:

  • How do you decide what to research next?
  • How do you decide who to include on your tree?
  • What information or records might we typically find on a person in your family tree?
  • How do you judge that a particular line of inquiry is 'done' (for now at least)?
  • How thoroughly do you flesh out an individual's history before moving on to someone else?
  • How do you determine the validity of a piece of evidence?  
  • How do you use publicly available trees in your research?

If you have questions you would like answered, bring them along with you on Wednesday 27th September at 10:30am. Don't forget to log in before you register here:
