Monday, December 28, 8:00pm (MST) (Tuesday, December 29, 2:00am GMT) GENTREK: Analyzing Conflicting Evidence.
Fortunate is the genealogist who finds clear-cut evidence of ancestral parentage. When such evidence cannot be found, or is ambiguous, separate records must be sought, analyzed, compared, and reconciled to support a hypothesis. Such analysis must consider such variables as the type of record, the date it was prepared, the person who created it, and the reason for its existence--especially when the evidence is not from official files. Your Chat Hosts, Jayne McCormick and Dae Powell.
