About this webinar
What are you looking at? Where did it come from? Why was it created? How did it get online? Records from the past didn't just show up digitally one day as if by magic. From record creation to storage to archiving and (hopefully) preservation, records made their way through various formats and institutions before showing up online. Understanding the history of a source, its life before the Internet, and the context in which it exists online today can help you discover more about the genealogical information it contains and the quality of that information, propelling your research forward.

Fabulous, thank you!
Loved it! Full of great info everyone needs to know while searching records and will save you a lot of time wasted by watching this first.
One of, if not THE, most helpful training sessions I have ever attended. Several weeks ago, Elizabeth Shown Mills expertly demonstrated the importance of exhaustive research and today Cyndi Ingle showed us how to better perform exhaustive research. Thank you, Family Tree Webinars, for providing such high caliber training!
Such an Awesome webinar!!!!!!!!!
An informative presentation that I will watch again.
CYNDI!!! A National Treasure (trove of information)!
