Problem Solving with FANs - free webinar by Beth Foulk now online for limited time

2016-02-19-image500blog
The recording of today's webinar, "Problem Solving with FANs" by Beth Foulk is now available to view for free for a limited time at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com. 
Often the answer to climbing a genealogy brick wall is simply to go around it. By broadening our research to include our ancestor’s friends, associates and neighbors, we can find answers that were previously elusive. Further, we paint a much broader, richer story of the ancestor's life by including their FANs. This class deconstructs the FAN concept then demonstrates how to use them in analysis through multiple examples.
