Using a Research Methodology for Family History
The sources we rely on for our family histories provide information, but the analysis of that information and formulation into proof requires a structured method.
Currently there is little guidance on this for beginning and intermediate family historians, especially in the UK.
This talk discusses methodologies, what they are and why they are useful.
It introduces an effective, easy-to-follow research methodology and shows how it can be used to successfully solve complex cases.
This talk is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society and we request a donation of £5 from non-members. Pre-booking is required, because the meeting link will emailed in advance. Booking ends one day before event.
