From Records to Reasoning: Analyzing and Correlating Genealogical Evidence

Records provide information; genealogists build evidence. Strengthen your ability to examine documents critically, evaluate reliability and context, and uncover clues hidden in the details. Then use timelines, tables, maps, and other visuals to correlate findings, expose patterns and conflicts, and transform scattered information into clear, well-supported conclusions.
