FSGS Poolside Chat with Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL - Deeper Analysis: Techniques for Successful Problem Solving

WEBINAR ABSTRACT: The Genealogical Proof Standard states that analysis and correlation of data are necessary before we can say something is proven, but what techniques are best? Many people collect information but don't know how to manipulate it for evidence analysis. Spreadsheets, timelines, maps, charts and tables are a few of the techniques that will be discussed to pull out evidence needed to answer research questions.
