When Proof Really isn't Proof at All
This presentation is very helpful for beginning researchers. Several individuals whose life information is culled from newspapers, census records, and family trees are examined closely. Logical flaws are noted, further research is introduced, and entirely different conclusions are discovered.
About Patti:
Patti Todd Gillespie brings energy and humor to her classes. She is a huge believer in lifetime learning and inclusive, respectful presenting. An avid hobby genealogist for 30 years, Patti formed Family Lines & Stories, her own research company, 6 years ago. She researches for clients and speaks to groups, small and large, in and out of Texas—usually virtually now. She presented two sessions at RootsTech Connect 2021; in 2020 she presented several sessions for the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS). A former teacher of French & English, Patti very much enjoys presenting. She watches as many genealogy webinars as possible when not attending to her husband, children, grandchildren, landscaping, and rescue dog. Eventually Patti plans to continue her blog for the 25 avid readers she treasures.
