SLIG Fall Virtual 2022: Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum

Back again with all new cases!

Coordinated by Angela Packer McGhie, CG, FUGA, the Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum challenges advanced researchers to solve a different tough case each week. Participants will gain experience in planning research, conducting research on complex problems, analyzing and correlating information, and reaching conclusions.

The online environment for this course facilitates the time necessary to work individually on each case and then to join classmates and the instructor to discuss approaches, sources, strategies, methodologies, and difficulties. Most students plan to spend 10 to 20 hours each week to work on the cases and write up a summary of findings.

This course is designed for advanced genealogists. Students should have advanced skills in researching in all types of genealogical records and solving tough genealogical problems.
