Saturday, March 23 virtual –The Mysterious George Hunter: persistence & methodology prevail

Some ancestors can be so elusive that it seems they may have vanished intentionally.

Using alternative methods in your research can compensate for missing and incomplete records by uncovering ‘indirect evidence’ that may help break down those stubborn research mysteries.

Applying the Genealogy Proof Standard, we will consider the building blocks for approaching a “brick wall” challenge: a concise research hypothesis, plan, and strategy, the value of a timeline, and solid citations along the way.

Don’t create your own brick wall!  Case studies are learning opportunities to increase research skills and methodology. Success in finding your ancestor requires a toolkit of different strategies. Case studies show you step-by-step how to uncover clues, resolve conflicting information, and use the genealogical proof standard. It does not matter who the person was, where they lived, or what their religion was. A case study will present techniques the researcher used to find their ancestor.
