Live Webinar / September 13– 7:00 to 8:00 pm
Record As You Go, Cite As You Go, & File As You Go
Featuring Guest Speaker: Cyndi Ingle
Description: Genealogists tend to get very excited about new records and sources they come across in their research. So much so that they grab a quick copy, download it to default folders, and move on to the next item without thoroughly exploring the source first. All too often they don't take the time to evaluate the source, to write the citation(s) for the source, or to file it in the correct spot. We have to slow down and take the time to think, to file, and to create notes about the source that make it easy to find that source again if needed.
Presenter Info: Cyndi Ingle is the owner of Cyndi's List (https://www.cyndislist.com), an essential resource for genealogy research. She is an accomplished genealogist and popular national speaker. She will be our presenter for the VGS Annual Seminar on Feb. 23, 2022.
