Mastering Genealogy Hints: A Guide to Navigating Shaky Leaves, Thrulines, and More

About this event



Genealogy platforms like Ancestry and MyHeritage offer billions of records and a bewildering variety of hint tools to enhance your research. But, not all hints are created equal. Join Mark Thompson for an eye-opening workshop that will demystify popular hint tools like Shaky Leaves, Thrulines, and the Theory of Family Relativity, as well as several other lesser-known gems. Learn how to differentiate between useful hints and misleading distractions that will help keep your research on the right track.

What You'll Learn:
- An overview of popular and lesser-known hint tools across major genealogy platforms
- Strategies for evaluating the reliability of different hints
- Techniques for efficiently incorporating valid hints into your research
- Tips for avoiding pitfalls that could derail your research

This is a Zoom only event.
