About this webinar
What happens when the indirect evidence of a death occurring and a probate record don't agree? The research begins in earnest! That's what happened in the case of the death of Antoine/Anthony Lallament of Mobile, Alabama. Who is Antoine and what relationship is he to me? When did he actually die? Which record is correct? What would other available records reveal? How is the explosion of the Steamer Kate involved? We have more questions than answers. This case study provides the research methodology involved in solving this problem.

excellent
Wow -- Now I need to "go back to the drawing board" for at least three of my ancestors! Thank you Ann.
Very good detective work by Ann - her presentation was very clear and she made her decision points and thoughts very clear - thank you Ann
I am grateful for the insight into the accreditation process and walking through the steps Ann took to resolve this challenge. Love the handout with so many resources!
Excellent. The researcher just kept on digging and exploring more records until she finally found proof. This is an example for us all.
It was an interesting research question, considering how much stock we put in probate records. I loved the twist of evidence at the end, like a well written novel!
As I was starting to type questions, she was already answering them. Ann must have precog for her audiences. :) Great case study!
This case study was a great roadmap on how to conduct exhaustive research when resolving conflict.
