NEVER GIVE UP: Strategies for Taking your Genealogy Research to the Next Level and Finding the Previously Unfindable
Marion Werle will present a collection of “I wish I knew that when I was starting out” tips to maximize your research efforts. She will share insights learned after 20 plus years of research about how to extract information that isn’t immediately obvious from a wide variety of sources. Topics include names and name variations, strategies for researching common names, revisiting old research with new eyes, obtaining the most out of the records you find, alternate approaches to solving genealogical problems, differences in search engines and indexing, extracting unexpected information from death records, the importance of geography in searches, creative use of city directories and the importance of persistence in genealogical research.
