Notes
Monthly Meeting Activities
July : Thursday 11th - Webinar - YouTube Your Family History [67 Mins] by Devin Ashby (produced by Millenium Legacy Family History Software). If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a thousand pictures. Creating a video of your family history online is simple and can be an exciting project for your entire family. Come and find out how to do it.
August : Thursday 8th - Webinar - What is a 'Reasonably Exhaustive Search'? [68 Mins] by Michael Hait, CG (produced by Millenium Legacy Family History Software). The first step of the Genealogical Proof Standard is to "complete a reasonably exhaustive search for all relevant records" related to your research objective. This presentation discusses what a "reasonably exhaustive search" constitutes, why this is necessary and how to conduct a search. A case study explores how failing to identify all relevant records can lead to missing information and forming inaccurate conclusions about your ancestors' lives.
