""Correlating Evidence: A Powerful Tool for Solving Genealogical Problems"

In a series of three case studies, see how correlation—comparing information from different sources—can give us answers to questions about our ancestors that no single document provides.

She is coordinator of the Intermediate Foundations course and the Writing the Series of Our Ancestors course for the Salt Lake City Institute of Genealogy, leads Best Practices Study Groups for a number of organizations, and is president of the Association of Professional Genealogists.
