🔍 Find My Family Genealogy | Professional Research Services 🌐 myfamilygen.com Most family history "research" is just collecting names. Professional genealogy is something entirely different—it's evidence-driven identity work. In this lecture, I break down the exact framework professional genealogists use to solve complex research problems: a repeatable 5-step research cycle and the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) that keeps your conclusions defensible. Whether you're new to genealogy or have been researching for years without a formal method, this principle-first orientation will transform how you approach every research question. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 📋 The Essential Mindset — Why genealogy is about proving identity, not collecting names, and the four things you must track in every research project 🔄 The 5-Step Research Cycle — The repeatable process professionals use: • Defining focused, testable research questions • Surveying existing knowledge before searching • Planning strategic (not random) research • Collecting, analyzing, and correlating evidence • Resolving conflicts and writing conclusions ✅ The Genealogical Proof Standard — The five elements that determine whether a conclusion is actually "proven." 📊 Evidence Evaluation — The Source-Information-Evidence triad and why an original record can still contain unreliable information 🛠️ Two Tools That Solve Most Problems — The Timeline Test and the FAN (Cluster) Principle explained with practical examples 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED: Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG): https://bcgcertification.org FamilySearch Research Wiki: https://familysearch.org/en/wiki National Archives: https://archives.gov Evidence Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills 🔔 Subscribe for more professional-level genealogy education—methodology, evidence analysis, and research strategies that actually work. 💬 Questions?
