SUMMARY:How to Find the Truth about a Family Story
DESCRIPTION:Oral history provides the foundation for all family research. Documentary evidence builds structure on that foundation. But documents often conflict with family traditions. How do we determine the core truths that are essential to understanding our own past? Learn how to examine the causes of those conflicts and how to peel away generations of confusion to find the real story that underpins family lore. Case studies include both Native American and African American traditions.

SUMMARY:Sources for Seeking Scoundrels
DESCRIPTION:Pulling back the curtain on lesser-used historical sources can reveal fascinating\, sometimes scandalous\, details about ancestors who lived outside the lines. We will look at seven types of records family historians rarely use: police records\, criminal court records\, jail records\, coroner’s records\, church disciplinary records\, divorce records and juvenile reformatory records. Whether your ancestors were lawbreakers or law enforcers\, these records can dramatically enrich your family history with depth\, context\, and vivid storytelling.

SUMMARY:Record As You Go\, Cite As You Go\, & File As You Go
DESCRIPTION:Genealogists tend to get very excited about new records and sources they come across in their research. So much so that they grab a quick copy\, download it to default folders\, and move on to the next item without thoroughly exploring the source first. All too often we don’t take the time to evaluate the source\, to write the citation(s) for the source\, or to file it in the correct spot. We have to slow down and take the time to think\, to file\, and to create notes about the source that make it easy to find that source again if needed. Doing this keeps our research more organized\, but also keeps our research brain tidy as well. We are much more productive when we can easily put our hands on what we’ve found in the past. We will explore different options for accomplishing all of these important steps.
