APRIL - 

Title – Organizing for Success

Webinar Presenter – Karen Clifford, AG

Beginner level and up

About the presenter: Karen Clifford is an author, genealogy educator, and long time President/CEO of Genealogy Research Associates. 

About this webinar: Have you ever found a relative sharing erroneous data on your favorite research line?  You’re willing to take the time to politely point out those errors (to prevent others from being misled) but the complexity of how to explain your years of research settles upon your brain like a fog.  You rally to the attempt, only to be thwarted by an inability to quickly locate the supporting documents.  After hours of effort, a numbing paralysis sets in at the realization that in order to adequately explain your conclusions, you will need to reconstruct your research process.  The result – thousands of individual family relationships that could be explained just STOP, or end up in heaps of unsubstantiated opinion files on the Internet.  This webinar presents an incredibly simple, yet successful organizational system used by thousands of genealogists, which makes the entire research process more efficient, and helps you avoid situations like that described above!
