Here's the press release from the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) about our first webinar together. We hope to see you all there!
“Another Kind of Navigation: GPS for Genealogy” presented by Shellee Morehead, Ph.D., CG
The first to be presented under the new webinar partnership with Legacy, this lecture describes the five steps of the Genealogical Proof Standard to establish proof of identities and relationships. Shellee Morehead, CG, will present examples at each step, along with a case study of a complex problem that was solved with research, creativity, attention to detail and a defined process. See how reasonably exhaustive research, accurate citations, analysis and correlation of data, the resolution of conflicting data and a reasoned, written conclusion was used to identify the parents of a Civil War soldier who shaved 10 years off his age and complicated the search for this relationship.
