| What is a family tree without photos to enhance the story? But many old photos are degrading with age in storage. And we can’t always travel to see the newest members of the family. Even when we do get to snap the picture, the quality is less than what we expect for historical purposes. And how do we get it off our phones and into our books and online trees?! This fully packed training will cover these issues and more as we learn tips of the trade for your pictures. Presented by Lori Coffey. |

Saturday, 16 Nov 2024 at 11:00 AM Program Meeting--Lecture Series
|
|
This program will begin with a brief business meeting beginning at 11:00 a.m. followed by two lectures with a 15-minute break between topics. Feel free to bring lunch or order from the Bookmark Cafe.
1. Avoiding Fallacies in Family History: A key to research success, we will learn the fallacies of debate to name errors you may have encountered but haven’t labeled. Whether in the evidence or the source, errors infiltrate genealogical problem-solving, taking us off-track. Understanding the difference between these errors with induction and deduction will start your journey toward unlocking family truths.
2. Applying the Principle of Three to Genealogy Research. Throughout history, in religion, folklore, and daily life, we have relied on the Principle of Three – how things occur in groups of three. For example, using three examples to prove a point, giving three reasons for a decision, relying on three pieces of evidence to support a claim. But are three enough when doing genealogical research? Using three case studies, we will demonstrate reasons that limiting one’s findings to three might be too restrictive. Instead, we explain how to use an Exhaustive Search to prove ancestral conclusions.
Both lectures presented by Jean Wilcox Hibben. |
