002 - Finding All of the Daughters in the Family Tree Sep 14, 2018

Show notes

In genealogy, it's important to research all of the children in a family, not just the child you descend from. But how do you trace the daughters when you don't always know what their names were after they got married?

In this episode, you'll learn about records generated by (and about) the father that can shed light on his daughters. You'll also learn about how taking a look at the known children can reveal clues about the children you don't know.

You'll also learn about a surprising search strategy that doesn't use the person's name. It's a great way to find married daughters and previously unknown children, so you can add them to the family tree.

001 - Is Perfectionism Ruining Your Genealogy? Sep 12, 2018

Show notes

Are you trying to be "too" perfect with your genealogy? Is the fear of having a mistake keeping you from publishing an online tree or writing about your family history?

Learn how perfectionism can be a hindrance to our research. (I'm not talking about being sloppy! We still want to do good research!) Perfectionism can hinder what we share, how we connect with others, how it keeps us from doing more research, and how it can actually lead to the destruction of our genealogy materials. Here are ways we can get past that -- and remove some stress from our genealogy.
