Wednesday, January 21
Is That Really Your Guy - Proving Conclusions  (Program)
10:00 am to 11:00 am
The Library Center, 4653 S. Campbell Ave., Springfield, MO and Zoom
Building a family tree is fun. You go online, search for, and discover records that seem to be for your ancestors. But, accidentally adding the wrong branches to your tree can be frustrating and time-consuming to fix. Learn how to avoid (or at least minimize) errors by channeling your own inner detective. In this presentation, professional genealogist Debbie Smyth discusses how to sort and evaluate evidence to make sure that really is your guy (or gal) and to help you logically prove your conclusions. Debbie will present by Zoom.
