Organizing Genealogical Research for Today and Tomorrow by Christina Lyons and Lorraine Minor (Monthly Educational Meetings)
Washington DC FamilySearch Center 10000 Stoneybrook Drive, Kensington MD 20895 or via Zoom
One of the most difficult aspects of genealogical research is creating an organizational plan that allows for keeping track of research performed, documents retrieved, analysis performed and conclusions reached in a way that facilitates the ultimate goal of passing our family history to others. Our speakers will discuss some techniques they have found useful.
