VGS General Monthly Meeting (VGS Monthly Meeting)
10:00 am Zoom Only Mtg
Guest Speaker: Kelly Conner Lear
Topic Info: Positively Negative: Using a Super-Trio to Meet the Genealogical Proof Standard
This session focuses on a "super-trio of negatives" – negative findings, negative searches, and negative evidence – used to meet the Genealogical Proof Standard. When working in time periods or places where records are scant or destroyed, negative findings and searches become essential tools. Together, these "negatives" play a positive role in resolving questions of identity, relationships, and events.
Speaker's Bio: A West Virginia native and former advertising creative director, Kelley Conner Lear brings twenty years of communication experience to her genealogy practice. Her research in Central Appalachia and the surrounding regions focuses on the lives of often-overlooked ancestors. Kelley is a Certified Genealogist® and Trustee of the Board for Certification of Genealogists. She is president of the Virginia Genealogy Society and has served on its Board since 2022. She recently mentors ProGen 69 and chaired APG's Professional Development Committee, serving on its board from 2023-25. She holds a B.A. in Communications, a Professional Learning Certificate from the International Institute of Genealogical Studies, and is an alumna of ProGen 52, Certification Practicum 2, and GenFed. Kelley is committed to supporting high-quality genealogical work and education guided by Genealogy Standards.
