Finding and Fixing Tree Inconsistencies focuses on the honest mistakes we might make in recording data, how we can recognize them and what we can do to correct them.
Wayne Shepheard has pursued family history research for several decades, on his own behalf and for others, exploring families in North America, Europe and the United Kingdom. He is active in expanding his interest in and writing about natural phen

It was interesting to note the different programs used and how each interpreted th inconcisistencises. Having said that, it is hard to make a list of errors into a barn burner but Mr. Shepheard did a good job with finding every image of “bent” trees to drive home the concept of tree errors and how to find them.
Another great informative webinar. One issue that I didn’t get an answer for was the sequence of looking into the consistencies. For instance, should you try to solve an issue within a direct line with a date most recent first, say 1724, or earlier, say 1699? Does it matter which one to solve first?
Excellent suggestions about all the places to check for inconsistencies. I appreciated seeing actual names and the inconsistencies due to many of the problems any genealogist, seasoned or novice, could encounter wonderful syllabus to accompany the presentation .I felt like Wayne was talking to a small audience and was very focused on the topic, it seemed personalized
Very interesting presentation. I don’t feel as alone now. The inconsistencies on my Tree seemed daunting, but his explanations of what is behind them was quite clear, making them less intimidating. Thank you for a great webinar!
It was good to see various programs compared. That way, if data doesn’t agree when I look for discrepancies in my own trees. I’ll not be surprised and can calmly continue my work.
As genealogists we seek information about our ancestors from as far back in time as possible. That being said, not all researchers may be familiar with the term, but some of the most important records we find were created during the time of the Little Ice Age.

The use of surnames dates back only to the late Middle Ages, around the 14th century. Almost all 9th and 10th century records show only one name for individuals. A pattern began to emerge in the late 12th century with regard to references to manors, estates and monasteries. This presentation will show, through examples from many types of documents produced during the medieval period, how the Little Ice Age climatic downturn impacted living conditions and imposed what would have been a major impetus to identify people. The use of a surname became the favoured and logical method to do so.

Famine and Family History will look at the parameters of famine, how to recognize whether famine conditions existed in areas where our ancestors lived and what the direct impact of famine was on communities and families.

Mother Nature's Impact on Family Migration & Relocation
People have migrated away from their places of birth for eons. Within recorded history we can trace the dislocation of families, indeed whole communities, because of war, politics, religious persecution, racial and cultural intolerance, employment or lifestyle prospects, and any of a number of other societal-related reasons. But there were…

Lots of good ideas for future research when receiving inconsistencies from Heritage.

Very glad there was a syllabus. I will definitely need this for reference as I focus on certain trees. Thank you.
