5 Steps for Fact-Checking Online Trees
Family trees created by other users can be tremendously helpful resources for genealogists. But online trees also make it easy for users to share unverified information about ancestors, and researchers need to be judicious in what details they copy over to their own trees. This presentation presents a practical, step-by-step framework for how you can evaluate information you find in online family trees. You'll also see examples from the three popular online trees, as well as what tools each offers for identifying and correcting errors in family trees. Participants will benefit from having at least some previous experience working with online trees.
