March Program: Genealogical Proof for the Everyday Genealogist

Our March 17 program begins at 6:30 pm. Visitors (not LCGS members) need to register below to receive the Zoom info and handout.

President Glenn York provides a brief overview of our society with the latest committee reports followed by tonight’s program.

Program Information
The topic for the monthly meeting will be “Genealogical Proof for the Everyday Genealogist.”

How do we know if the facts we’ve uncovered about our ancestors are correct? How do we avoid attaching somebody else’s ancestors to our family tree? The Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) is our guide to producing reliable research results. This introduction to the Genealogical Proof Standard will get your research moving in the right direction and help you avoid errors and frustration.
