March Meeting: Sunday, March 26, 2023
Our March 26, 2023 meeting will be a virtual meeting held on Zoom beginning at 1:30. A zoom link and information on how to join the meeting will be sent to members one week prior to the event. Non-members wishing to attend may send a request by Thursday March 23rd to info@washtenawgenealogy.org.
Program: "The Genealogical Proof Standard: Put the Power of GPS to Work"
Producing a high-quality, reliable genealogy requires thoughtfulness and thoroughness during the research process. Learn how testing your work against recognized standards helps you achieve your goals. In this introduction to the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) you will learn about the development of modern standards, their importance for all genealogists, and how anyone, at any level of experience, can effectively apply these common-sense “best practices” to their family project.
