January is the perfect time to review your research and plan some goals for 2022 or brush up on your skills before undertaking SAG's Certificate or Diploma program. Join us for a series of three webinars covering fixing errors in your family tree, proving your family tree and using mind mapping and timelines for problem solving.

Skill level: All     Presenter:  Danielle Lautrec

Webinar 1: Fixing errors in your tree 29 January 11:00am-12:00pm.  It is easy to make mistakes in your family tree. It might be as simple as a typo, or as serious as having the wrong person or the wrong relationships. Fixing the errors is important otherwise the tree becomes increasingly inaccurate. This session will examine the most common errors made in family trees, how to find those errors and how to fix them. Examples from online trees and family tree software will be included.

Webinar 2: Proving your family tree 26 February 10:30am-12:30pm. Family history is rarely a straightforward matter. We have all experienced sources providing inconsistent information and family trees with different information or people in them; and we may also have reached conclusions after undertaking complex research. It is important to know how to document your family history in a manner which demonstrates the validity of your conclusions. This session will examine how to present the evidence you have gathered for your family history, ranging from simple statements to more complex proof arguments.

Webinar 3: Problem Solving Using Mind Mapping and Timelines 19 March 10:30am-12:30pm. Many research problems can be solved by looking at more sources, but more tricky problems require analytical tools. Mind mapping and timelines are two tools which can help you clarify your research questions, develop research leads and evaluate your research conclusions. This session will demonstrate how to use the tools, with worked examples, templates and instructions.
