Performing reasonably exhaustive research assumes researchers recognize the resources available to solve a research question. Genealogists must recognize pertinent resources available to solve a research question and understand the limits of each of those resources. This lecture helps to navigate the pitfalls.

Great lecture, Patti! I didn’t know about the WPA Indexes. Will definitely be looking to see if those exist for any of my North Carolina counties! Thank you! Renate
Excellent ideas
Patti Lee Hobb has opened my eyes in which to look for and at documents!!
Provided very good information, lots to think about
Thank You, Patti, for a powerful webinar on record access and such valuable techniques to utilize.
Very well done! So informative and easy to follow. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to utilize some of the info gleaned from this webinar.
So good to be reminded to locate all records available and then to examine each keeping citations and notes about each as the research progresses. It’s the only way to research comprehensively.
I use indexes and learned long ago how valuable (& essential) internal indexes are. But this webinar scaled up my awareness of how to use indexes and abstracts to help me develop skills and focus research BEFORE I go down rabbit holes. Excellent presentation. I did not ever feel left behind. Glad to see people learning about this type of research- many are unaware of the potential it holds. Thanks so much. (And I’m not at all bothered that I just spent a beautiful sunny fall day in front of my computer!)
