About this webinar

Feeling stuck? Have a difficult genealogy research problem? It may be time for a professional to assist. Join educator, author, and researcher, Karen Clifford, as she answers your questions and demonstrates how she solves genealogy cases. Seeing how someone else approaches a genealogy mystery can give you new ideas to apply for your own hunt.

 

In this Researching with Karen series, we invite you to submit a brief description of your current genealogy problem. Karen will select a few of your cases to be discussed in this webinar. While she doesn't promise to solve your mystery, she will show how an experienced professional would approach the research. 

 

To be considered, be sure to submit electronic copies of the following: 

  1. Family Group Record, with citations and/or notes
  2. Pedigree Chart
  3. Research Log of what you have already researched
  4. Your goal. Be specific. What exactly are you trying to find?

 

The Legacy Family Tree software makes it easy to create these electronic reports. Instead of printing to your printer, select the PDF File option. 

 

Email your case to Geoff@LegacyFamilyTree.com with the subject line of "Researching with Karen"

Genealogy Evidence and Online Family Trees
A person's identity is established through evidence. Usually that evidence comes from multiple record groups which when studied together either forges stronger links between family members, or weakens links (and confusion reigns.) Sometimes there are records about the same person which disagree. Become familiar with available tools from online family…
