Bring ‘Em Back to Life: Creating an Ancestor Profile

Brick walls stymy our research when we can go no further. The video presents a methodology for organizing all the evidence you have acquired, re-reading it as if you have never seen it before, and creating a written biographical profile based on what you know. You’ll identify important gaps that must be researched, conflicting evidence, and begin to think like your ancestor. You will add other people’s information, events at the local, national, and international levels, and personal details. You will learn how to effectively build a biographical context and then identify information to develop an expanded research plan. Say farewell to many brick walls and hello to completely new insights.
