Speaker: Yvette Hoitink
Writing research reports is a powerful tool for any genealogist—not just professionals. It helps you analyze the sources you have found more deeply and see patterns that you might otherwise have overlooked. It helps you document your research to share with others, or to pick it up at a future date. But most importantly, it helps you build reliable conclusions.
