The Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc. presents
Zoom: “Common Myths in Family History Research” with Tracy Burger
Think you know the rules of genealogy? You may be surprised!
Family history research is filled with fascinating discoveries—and just as many persistent myths. Some are harmless family lore, while others can lead researchers down the wrong path and make finding our ancestors much more difficult.
In this engaging and informative class, we’ll examine some of the most common myths in genealogy and explore what the evidence really tells us. Along the way, we’ll look at how records were created, why information can vary from one record to another, how family traditions can provide valuable clues, and why good genealogical research requires more than simply finding a name in a database.
Whether you are new to family history research or have been climbing your family tree for years, this class will help you become a more thoughtful researcher, recognize common pitfalls, and approach your ancestors’ stories with curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism.
Come ready to question what you think you know—and discover some surprising truths
about family history research!
