Family historians use all kinds of sources to make discoveries about their ancestors, but how much do you really know about the information you are using?
It’s easy to attach a “hint” to an online family tree and know very little about its origins. Professional genealogist Lisa Dougherty will guide you through understanding the who, what, where, when, and why of the documents used for family history, and how to properly record them.
