BEFUDDLED BY THE RECORDS: Building Our Own Brick Walls by Debbie Wilson Smyth (Monthly Educational Meetings)
Washington DC FamilySearch Center 10000 Stoneybrook Drive, Kensington MD 20895 or via Zoom
If something in a record seems “off” or is confusing or conflicts with known information, do you still accept it at face value? Or, do you conduct additional research to confirm or verify the information it contains? Sometimes, the records will lead you astray with incomplete or erroneous information. This presentation will present case studies to demonstrate those times you may be befuddled by the records.
