The
Gregath Publishing Company Carrie's
Corner
Put your
hobby to work for you The skills used in successful family history research provide a strong core knowledge base and skill set that can be used in a variety of ways for profit. Tips and ideas of where to start (or branch out) will be covered.
Power Up with PowerPoint PowerPoint is more than a one trick pony! Look beyond lecture support to digital scrapbooks, documentaries, memorials, commercials, and more. Basic tour of working desk top and discussion of specific applications follows a brief overview of several types of decks: Visual only decks, decks with soundtrack, and self-running. Barnstorming with Brainstorming Very few people today take the time to brainstorm. Of the few that do, many don’t follow all the rules that make brainstorming work well. This lecture will outline those rules and why they are important. Depending on questions, if time allows, the attendees may experience some practices. The summary will be an audience participation section determining if certain behavior is productive brainstorming (or not) – and why. Value of both Genealogy Proof Standard and Preponderance of Evidence The basic debate is which standard is golden when researching family history. This lecture will explain the value and use of both, as integrated into a thriving research plan.
Lots of topics throughout the weekend! Website
