- 1) CREATIVE HYPOTHESIS DEVELOPMENT.
In difficult genealogical problems, researchers often naturally develop one scenario, or hypothesis, that logically explains the situation. That working hypothesis takes root and then we move forward, supporting it without considering alternative hypotheses.
Often we are on track. However, in more complex genealogical challenges, developing multiple hypotheses early can prove more successful to opening up our thinking, exploring additional possibilities, and arriving at a successful conclusion.
2) WRITING IS A METHODOLOGY.
I know for some of us writing can be difficult...even painful, right? In genealogy we may write to capture our family history for others. but have you used writing to actually solve brick walls? It often works. When you write what you know, it helps illustrate what you don't know. It may raise questions you haven't yet asked or show holes in your research and timelines that you had not seen.
This hands-on style discussion will help you learn how to write for solving your brick walls through use of a case study as well as your own material.
3) SAME NAME METHODOLOGY
Having the challenge of people with the same name is an age-old genealogy issue. It doesn't even have to be the dreaded "John Smith" because even unique names occur within and between generations and neighbors.
Many of us have our own "John or Jane Smiths" Luckily, genealogists have been writing about same name obstacles for decades now. Through a literature review process as well as a case study, this topic covers the methods to help you solve your own same name problems.
4) LOCATION AND TIMELINE ANALYSIS CHART
When an ancestor appears to be in several locations over a short period of time, one may be concerned that it is multiple individuals. The use ofa Locations and Timeline Analysis Chart (LoTac) can help prove, or disprove that there are multiple persons. A case study helps illuminate the use of this methodology.
5) MAKING FAMILY RESEARCH VIDEOS TO SHARE
You love your genealogy research but at family gatherings and cocktail parties others' eyes glaze over when you start talking about it, right?
Now you can learn how to convert all that information that YOU LOVE into a fascinating piece of video that THEY WILL LOVE! This works well for family, friends and clients
This class, or workshop, describes and demonstrates how to easily create a video of your family history and research that can be shared with others. Showing them documents is considered dull. Make your history come to life with a dynamic and interesting video.
