Research reports are not just for professionals, but are a great tool for anyone who wants to answer their research questions. Write a research report to yourself to organize your thoughts, analyze the evidence, document your findings, and solve your puzzles. Using an example from the Netherlands, this presentation demonstrates how you can organize a research report to spot more clues in records, discover and resolve discrepancies, and build reliable conclusions.

Syllabus
This is a great presentation. I found it very easy to understand and inspiring. The syllabus notes are also of a high standard. I know what I will be trying over the Christmas break.
This is a valuable presentation. Thank you for sharing the handout and links.
Great ideas about how to get beyond facts and sources to assemble the pieces into a useful narrative of your research. Especially appreciate the suggestion of how to park the “bright shiny object” into a parking lot – which I didn’t realize was an Achille’s heel of mine.
Speaker provided great ideas for report writing.
This webinar will be helpful to anyone struggling with research especially when the research logs aren’t working. I had not thought of doing genealogy this way. Writing a research report is an amazing idea, and I believe it will work much better than the research logs I was struggling with.
A very informative webinar.
A very interesting and different webinar. Some useful tips and information to start writing reports. These reports are such a good idea for picking up where you left off. Thank you
I particularly liked the way Yvette says she’s started doing the research reports to herself to sort out the info before putting it into her tree. Working on my husband’s Dutch lines, there are so many name and spelling variations that I need to keep track of (for online database searching) that all that info on my tree as different names just clogs up the tree. Having that information in a report will make the tree information more concise.
