28 Genealogy Standards for Beginners, part II: Making the Grade
Let’s take a look at the broadly accepted standards and practices that make it possible for us to actually “prove” a relationship, produce credible work, and publish accurate findings. This class will cover the Genealogical Proof Standard, writing and citation techniques, and standards for working with DNA results.

39 Using Technology to “See” Research More Clearly
 Ever ask yourself “how did I miss that?”  We will explore how three simple tech tools -  spreadsheets, mind maps, and timelines - can be used to help us “see” our research more clearly, find previously hidden clues, outline better research plans, reveal relationships, and find “the rest of the story.”

Audience Level:  Intermediate
