About this webinar

This webinar was presented live during the 2022 Surname Society annual conference.

    Really clear presentation and case study outlining a practical methodology that doesn’t focus on the terminology that can be daunting when looking at the Genealogical Proof Standard. This is just the sort of approach that can draw in less experienced researchers, who might never think the GPS is relevant to them, turning us all into better family historians.
