I love the way the presenter walked us through the process she follows when researching....details, sources, context and write up
Interesting and informative.
The military discussion gave me a question to research regarding the history of the farm that I grew up on.
You've inspired me to get more in depth understanding of the Genealogical Standards - Thank you!
Rebecca is a fantastic speaker, and her slides and syllabus are top-notch!
She did a very good job with a difficult topic. Her examples were great. While I liked the color coding of the broad context of the paragraphs, it would have been good to give some idea about how much topical research is contained within a single report and for what type of reports.
Really makes you think about analyzing data and not just collecting facts.
good solid information, useful for all levels of genealogists.
