WEBINAR-The Genealogical Proof Standard: Put the Power of GPS to Work! – Alice Hoyt Veen, CG, June 10, 2021 7:00 PM (Central)

Producing a high-quality, reliable genealogy for your family requires thoughtfulness and thoroughness during the research process. Testing our work against recognized standards helps achieve our goals. This introduction to the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) looks at the development of modern standards, their importance for all genealogists, and how anyone, at any level of experience, can effectively apply these common-sense standards and techniques to their family project.
