ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Although most researchers are aware of tax records, they are seldom utilized and dismissed as boring and insignificant.

"The Case of the Broken Link: Decoding the URL"

Join us!

https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5761729372643109377

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Web site addresses appear to be long, complicated, and mysterious. Navigating through the web leads you from link to link, web page to web page, site to site, and server to server  - all in a matter of a few clicks. How can you sort out separate web sites? How can you track down a new URL for a broken link or a broken bookmark? What happens when your source citation for a web site contains a URL that suddenly disappears? We will break down this technical topic to help you easily hunt down the URL you need.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Cyndi Ingle, a genealogist for more than 35 years, is the creator of Cyndi’s List; author of three books for genealogical research on the Internet; a past-member of the board of directors for the National Genealogical Society and active member in several other genealogical groups.

REMINDER: FREE Webinar From SCGS November 16, 2016 - Tammy Hepps: "The Ancestor Deep-Dive: How You Can Find Out Everything There Possibly is to Know About Your Ancestor"

FREE WEBINAR from SCGS

 Wednesday, November 16, 2016, 6:00 p.m. PST 

Tammy Hepps

"The Ancestor Deep-Dive: How You Can Find Out Everything There Possibly is to Know About Your Ancestor"

Join us!

https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2940379237235113729

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Too often our research is driven by sources. We look for an ancestor in all the sources we've heard about, and we only break new ground when we hear about new ones. How do we assess how comprehensive our search has been? How do we know if we're even on the right path to get the answers we long for? This class will teach a methodology for creating a research plan centered around the *discoveries* we want to make, not the *pathways* we think are available for getting there. The first half of the presentation will cover how to generate an answer-centric research plan, in which we brainstorm what we want to know. The remainder will show how we work backwards from our desired answers to determine what sources might contain the elusive information. The class will be driven by case-study of a real ancestor for whom such a deep-dive was performed, showing how surprising information really can be surfaced from unexpected places.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Founder of Treelines.com and a past winner of the RootsTech Developer Challenge, Tammy Hepps is a Harvard-educated technologist, storyteller, and life-long genealogist.  Her research into her family’s history in a once-famous steel town, available online at HomesteadHebrews.com, has received national press coverage.
