About this webinar

We gather lots of information, data, and evidence as we research our ancestors. The difficulty lies in analyzing the information, correlating it to data gathered from multiple sources, determining patterns, identifying holes in our research, and understanding the evidence. Organizing data using timelines, chronologies, charts, tables, and other assemblages can help us compare, correlate, and analyze evidence. This presentation will offer multiple ways of visualizing data to make it easier to analyze and evaluate evidence, discover gaps and missing information, see how pieces of the puzzle fit together, and uncover new paths for research.

Connecting Generations through Probate and Property

Connecting Generations through Probate and Property
Genealogical research involves identifying ancestors, linking them to family members, and then connecting them to the previous generation: sons and daughters to fathers and mothers. As our research moves back in time, particularly once we’ve gotten to the 19th century, connecting one generation to the previous generation becomes more difficult. Vital records expressly stating a parent-child relationship are rare. Consequently, to establish kinship we must broaden our research approach. Using case studies, Teri will demonstrate how to use probate and property records to identify family members and connect them to their ancestors.
