Research Logs: Write or Regret It!

Saturday, 22 January 2022 at 2:00 p.m. EST via Zoom

We are excited to begin the new year with the program Research Logs: Write or Regret It! presented by genealogical researcher, lecturer, and instructor Rebecca Whitman Koford, CG®, CGL^SM.

Why is this such an important topic? Organizing is key to understanding. If you can’t find it, how can you compare and analyze the facts and clues in your ancestor’s life? This presentation introduces three organizational tools and how they can work together to improve your analysis skills and get closer to finding the answers you need.

Join us Saturday, 22 January 2022, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time via Zoom. The program is free, but registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
