The one-hour lecture topics will be:
- Genealogical Proof Standard: Building a Solid Case - Do you have enough evidence? Does it conflict? Is it all built on indirect evidence? How do you know if you have enough to be persuasive? Specific examples will demonstrate.
- Local Land Records in Depth - Land records are vastly underused and misunderstood. This lecture will show the wide diversity of county land records, how to access them, understand the laws that governed their transfer, and how to use and interpret them.
- Avoid the Crooked Path! Genealogical Problem Solving - Demonstrates how to focus on the goal, and stay on the path to solve it. A great motivational talk!
- 'Solving' the Problem Onsite in 25 Hours or Less - Strategies to maximize onsite research, with a case study to illustrate it. The same strategies can be used even when not on-site. The results of what can be accomplished are surprising.
