We will discuss some strategies for planning your research and executing it efficiently, while keeping track of what you are currently doing and plan to do in the future.
2. Social Zoom Lunch
3. Crafting Genealogical Proof
An introduction to The What, the Why and the How of writing a genealogical proof statement, summary, or argument. How to take your research and deductions from documents (and your brain) and put it together on paper for future generations and researchers.
4. Ten Resources I Use Every Day: Miscellaneous Tips for the Online Researcher
