BCG Portfolio Part 2: Research Report and Case Study

Sound research isn't enough—readers must follow the reasoning. This six-webinar series supports Part 2 of the Certified Genealogist® portfolio: a research report and a case study resolving conflicting evidence or proving a conclusion without direct records. Nancy Peters covers report standards; four Joy Reisinger lectures explore context, social history, the FAN principle, and conflict resolution; Kelley Conner Lear closes with visual tools for correlation and analysis.
