If you learn by doing, this hands-on, case study based class
is an opportunity to put your research skills to the test! Participants work on
five complex genealogical research problems—a new one each day, then gather to
discuss what was found.
The objective is to give students experience in conducting
research on complex problems, analyzing and correlating evidence, and
researching conclusions. Participants will work individually on each of the cases
then gather to discuss their progress with fellow classmates and that day’s
expert instructor.
The case studies are varied, offering students the
opportunity to stretch their minds and skills in directions the research they are used to
may
not normally take them. The ensuing discussion about sources used, strategies
implemented, and difficulties encountered will challenge your thinking and broaden your perspective.
Mind Maps for Genealogy author and frequent SLIG participant Ron Arons said, “SLIG was
fantastic! The Advanced Practicum challenged me beyond my expectations and
introduced me to areas and record sets to which I had not previously been
exposed. Probably the best aspect of the practicum was seeing how other
participants used completely different approaches to solve the same problems.
Enlightening, for sure.”
