"Finding What You Need and Using What You Find"

by Pam Vestal

Even though so much information is available for our research, getting to the specific information that we need and using it most effectively can present challenges. Discover twenty practical strategies for enhancing your research. From finding ways to use the internet more successfully, extracting hidden genealogical nuggets from the documents you find, and evaluating your evidence, we'll explore an assortment of tools for locating overlooked records, understanding codes in documents, recovering missing websites, finding evidence of name changes, and much more. 

Pam Vestal is a professional genealogist and speaker who turned her focus to her longtime love of genealogy after a 20-year writing career. Her articles have appeared in the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly and the FGS's Forum magazine, and her lectures take her from coast to coast.  Pam specializes in conducting genealogical research and then turning that information into illustrated stories that even non-genealogists can enjoy.
