Éléonore d’Aquitaine était-elle mon ancêtre ? Appliquer le GPS à travers 30 générations
Les sous-titres et la voix de cette vidéo ont été doublés en français à l’aide de l’IA.
Lorsque Yvette a trouvé une lignée vers Éléonore d’Aquitaine (1124-1204), reine de France et d’Angleterre, dans des arbres en ligne, elle a rapidement réalisé que les recherches existantes ne répondaient pas aux normes. Elle a commencé à vérifier la lignée une génération à la fois, afin de respecter la norme de preuve généalogique. Dans cette présentation, elle vous emmènera dans son parcours, partageant les compétences, les méthodes et les documents qu’elle a utilisés pour vérifier sa lignée royale remontant aux années 1100.

Was Eleanor of Aquitaine My Ancestor? Applying the GPS across 30 Generations
When Yvette found a line to Eleanor of Aquitaine (1124-1204), Queen of France and England, in online trees, she quickly realized the existing research did not meet standards. She set about verifying the line one generation at a time, to meet the Genealogical Proof Standard. In this presentation, she will take you on her journey, sharing the skills, methods, and documents she used to verify her royal line back to the 1100s.

Applying the Genealogical Proof Standard to Researching Enslaved Families (a 2024 Reisinger Lecture)
Using several families that were enslaved on the same plantation as case studies, this presentation will demonstrate research that meets the Genealogical Proof Standard. Examples of reasonably exhaustive research, evidence analysis, correlation, and resolving conflicts will be presented.
This class is presented live at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City as part of the Joy Reisinger Memorial Lecture Series and is being broadcasted by Legacy Family Tree Webinars.

How do you know when you have genealogical proof? You apply the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) to your completed research. The GPS is how genealogists test conclusions–whether it is your research or other people’s research. Recognize why meeting the GPS is essential and when it is appropriate. Learn about the five interdependent components of the GPS. Understanding the GPS and being able to apply it will hone your research skills.

When weaving DNA and paper trail evidence together, how do we know when enough is enough? There’s often a thin line between a convincing case and one that falls just short of meeting genealogical standards. When we look at specific cases, what guides us in determining when we have enough DNA or enough documentary evidence or enough of both-and when more will be needed to meet the Genealogical Proof Standard?

Correlation is required to meet the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS), but what exactly is it? How do I do it? And can it help me solve genealogical problems? We will use case studies to demonstrate how to correlate evidence to generate ideas for further research, test hypotheses, and present conclusions….

Patriot or Not? Using the Genealogical Proof Standard on a Closed DAR Line
The audience is introduced to the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) and then presented with four research questions concerning a man who is currently a patriot on a closed DAR line. The closed line needs more proof before descendants may claim his service. After going through the evidence, the audience will…

GPS: Finding Your Way Through Tough Research Problems
Life is good when records with direct evidence exist. Typically that doesn't last long. At some point, one finds only bits and pieces of indirect or conflicting evidence and progress often comes to a screeching halt. This class examines a case study prepared for application to the Board for Certification…

Discovering exactly where your Irish ancestors hailed from can be a tricky exercise, especially with the lack of 19th century census returns. However, there is an abundance of other records that can help in your research, and this talk focuses on Griffith’s Valuation and the subsequent Revision (or Cancelled) books – what they are, what they can tell us, and where you can access them. Case studies are used to highlight a range of sources that can help you identify your family in these records, and discover the place where your ancestors left their footprints in Ireland.
