How can you tell if a name in a database or record is really your ancestor? Genealogists often deal with the challenges of identifying ancestors despite same names, irregular spellings, inconsistent ages, similar places, unknown maiden names, missing vital records, ancestral migration and boundary changes. Knowing how to sort these issues out is crucial to building an accurate family tree. Join genealogist Shelley Bishop for this virtual only presentation which will demonstrate the use of seven strategies to help you solve identity problems and keep your research on track.

This is a virtual session only. Registration is required. View full Genealogy Workshop Series here.

Please note: While this session will be recorded, the recording will only be available for 30 days. Registrants who cannot attend on Oct. 8 may receive the link via email.
