About this webinar
Thorough analysis of each source document is how genealogists plan their next research steps. Including mind mapping as a visual method of analysis can help focus further research questions, point to missing sources, and support indirect evidence analysis.

I've used mind mapping for years prepping for meetings, presentations & papers, as I prefer it to outlines in the early stages of planning. I had never thought of it as a tool for genealogy research or of color coding it's elements. Thank you for expanding my toolbox & for your excellent presentation.
I think of myself as a lists, outlines, excel worksheets person. I watched this to get a different perspective. After I watched it once, I came back with a fairly unfamiliar document and went through the steps as they were explained. I came up with many research questions that I didn't think about the first time I read the document. Seeing the information visually and how I connected information items, research questions, context questions etc. helped me see what I absolutely need to do first. It also showed me the most logical progression of research questions and the plan. Thank you, very beneficial for me!
I've never got to grips with mind maps as I could never work out what should be written on the connecting lines/in the boxes etc and concluded that it wasn't a technique for me, but Amy's presentation has just changed that. Her method makes perfect sense and I can see myself using it moving forward. Thank you!
So much information; my head is spinning! I will definitely have to look at this one several times!
Very interesting way to think.
Informative, instructional, and enlightening!
Another WOW presentation for the day. I hope to be able to translate the mind mapping strategies into practical application in my research.
The content was a bit involved, yet I will try to apply what I learned today. Thank You
