Where’s the Proof? Organizing and Writing Genealogical Findings, Part 1

Writing well-constructed genealogical proofs to convey research findings and sound conclusions is the hallmark of an excellent genealogist. In this session, Where’s the Proof? Organizing and Writing Genealogical Findings, we'll learn tools and techniques to effectively organize and write solid genealogical proofs. Well-written proofs are key elements in research reports for clients, personal files, and the ICAPGen Level 1 Report. Part 1 of this presentation will cover the foundational elements for genealogical proof writing.
This video is the first part of a three-part series.
