Genealogy is like working on a giant puzzle—some pieces are obvious, others are missing, and a few might seem like they don't fit at all. In this session, we'll explore how to approach your family history with a puzzle-solver's mindset.
Learn how to sort through clues, evaluate evidence, identify gaps, and make connections across generations and record types. We'll discuss strategies for organizing your research, dealing with conflicting information, and recognizing when a piece doesn't belong.
Whether you're stuck on a brick wall or trying to assemble your tree with more confidence, this class will help you see the big picture—and find the pieces that bring it all together.
