We will talk about the quality of data and the danger of relying on a single source. Primarily, examples will be used to show how & where information can be found. Many of the examples are available free on the internet, either at home, at the library or at a Family History Center. We will talk a little about how to work with others around the world who might have expertise or could even be searching for the same family. Genealogy is a study in perseverance as new sources come to light.
