Students in Advanced Genealogical Methods will learn how to assemble and use evidence to rediscover ancestral origins, identities, and relationships that have been forgotten over the passage of time.
The course will address advanced use of evidence derived from a variety of genealogical sources and will explore research techniques for populations for which the usual records are in short supply. Students will also learn how to document their research and develop written proof summaries to reach accurate conclusions and create a credible record of their findings for present and future generations of family historians.
Paul K. Graham, AG, CG, CGL will be assisted by his instructor team including:
- Thomas W. Jones, PhD, CG, CGL, FASG, FUGA, FNGS
- Judy G. Russell, JD, CG, CGL
- Pamela Boyer Sayre, CG, FUGA
- Richard G. Sayre, CG, CGL, FUGA
- Paul Woodbury, MEd
This intense course is targeted to high intermediate genealogists who have completed an intermediate level methodology course or who have equivalent experiences. Their research has led them to encounter relationships that cannot be documented only with direct evidence. They have taken at least one DNA test.
Students are encouraged to obtain and read Mastering Genealogical Proof prior to the start of the course. [Jones, Thomas W., Mastering Genealogical Proof (Arlington: National Genealogical Society, 2013), 26–27.]
Students will need access to a computer with Internet access to participate fully in the course.
