The summary for the two presentations are:
1) “Finding Your Elusive Ancestor: The Genealogical Proof Standard, and Doing a Reasonably Exhaustive Search”
Are
you familiar with the five elements of the Genealogical
Proof
Standard (GPS)? It deals with information, sources,
evidence, analysis and proof, and was developed by the Board
for
Certification of Genealogists (BCG). It is the "standard"
methodology for professionals proving assertions of
genealogical facts. In this presentation, Randy Seaver will describe the
processes used to work with the GPS, especially the first element of the GPS, "to do a reasonably
exhaustive search." He will take a
whirlwind tour through traditional and online resources that
should
be included in a search, and discuss his favorite search
strategies and
techniques.
2) “Finding
My Elusive Ancestor: Devier J. Smith Case
Study
In
this presentation, Randy Seaver will describe his Case Study
of his favorite elusive ancestor, Devier J. Smith, that
illustrates the concepts of the GPS, and doing a Reasonably
Exhaustive Search.
If you have some free time on Saturday, I would love to meet you at the OCCGS meeting in Huntington Beach!
