Research Plans and Research Logs (Discussion Group)
10:00 am ZOOM Presentation
Research plans and research logs can be powerful tools to help solve knotty genealogical questions. Think of it as if planning for a holiday road trip: research plans and logs help you decide on a research question/destination, explore ways to get there, and—equally important—can keep you from going in circles or getting sidetracked down interesting side roads that are unlikely to help answer your research question. We’ll discuss how to create research plans and logs, how to use them, and hopefully share experiences that show what these tools can accomplish.
Discussions are informal groups gathered to exchange or learn new ideas about each topic.
