Program topic: Finding What You Need and Making the Most of What You Find

Even though so much information is available for our research, getting to the specific information that we need and using it most effectively can present challenges. Discover twenty practical strategies for enhancing your research. From finding ways to use the internet more successfully, extracting hidden genealogical nuggets from the documents you find, and evaluating your evidence, we'll explore an assortment of tools for locating overlooked records, understanding codes in documents, recovering missing websites, finding evidence of name changes, and much more.
