Use Your Digital Camera to Copy Records - free webinar now online by Mary Hill


The recording of today's webinar, Use Your Digital Camera to Copy Records, by Mary Hill, is now available to view in our webinar archives. Whether you are a newbie to digital cameras or an experienced photographer, everyone seemed to learn something from Mary.
I have a new digital camera and still trying to figure it all out. This is GREAT!!! I've learned more in 30 minutes than I have in the couple months I have had it. She is explaining things so simply!! Can't wait to try this! - Patricia
Geoff was right - we can hear Mary smile when she presents, which makes for a more interesting presentation. Mary's presentation was also very thorough. Although I have been using a digital camera to copy records for almost ten years (I am on my second digital camera), I learned some things about adjusting the settings that I had not previously thought about. Thank you for a great presentation! - Beverly
I did not expect to learn so much. I especially liked learning how to use the function settings to get better pictures. I just wish I had seen this webinar before I went on my recent trip.

What is a 'Reasonably Exhaustive Search'? Free webinar September 12 by Michael Hait


The first step of the Genealogical Proof Standard is to "complete a reasonably exhaustive search for all relevant records" related to your research objective. This webinar, presented by Certified Genealogist Michael Hait, discusses what a "reasonably exhaustive search" constitutes, why this is necessary, and how to conduct a search. A case study explores how failing to identify all relevant records can lead to missing information and forming inaccurate conclusions about your ancestors' lives.
