"What is a 'Reasonably Exhaustive Search'?"
Presented by Michael Hait, CG

The first condition of the Genealogical Proof Standard is to "complete a reasonably exhaustive search for all relevant records" related to your research objective. This presentation discusses

  • What is a "reasonably exhaustive search"?
  • Why is it necessary? 
  • How do I conduct such a search?

This presentation will use a case study to explore how failing to identify and carefully consider all relevant records can lead to missing information and forming inaccurate conclusions about your ancestors' lives.

To help defray the costs of our guest instructor, we are requesting $5 per attendee (non refundable). As soon as you register, an email will be sent to Rootsonomy. As soon as we receive your payment, we will send you the access instructions. Register at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6319718306825753600
