Topic: FAN Club Methodology

The Best Practices SIG is for genealogists who want to learn advanced methodology skills and techniques. We’ll continue studying applying FAN Club methodology to our own research. Please come ready to share your progress, or bring a challenge you’re facing. Whether you’re moving forward or feeling stuck, there’s always something to learn together.

“The only voice that documents have is the voice we give them.
With every document we find, and every story we tell, we have a choice:
We can take what we see at face value, report it devoid of context, and run the risk of misrepresenting the circumstances.
Or we can seek the context we need to understand the record, the event, and the person.”

– Elizabeth Shown Mills
