Pro Tips for the Family Researcher - presented by Katie Derby
Discover strategies and tools to elevate your genealogy research into a meaningful legacy. Drawing on 25+ years as a professional genealogist and my experience teaching in BYU-Idaho’s Family History Research Program, this session blends practical techniques with insights from both teaching and real-world research. You’ll learn to:
- Reevaluate past research with fresh eyes.
- Adopt effective habits for documentation and citations.
- Develop targeted research plans and logs focused on evidence over record collection.
- Organize and analyze findings to reveal relationships and hidden stories.
