July: Using Evidence Analysis in a Timeline to Separate Individuals of the Same Name

by Diana Elder, AG, AGL

Merged identities are a common problem in genealogy–especially in online trees. Arranging records in a timeline and careful evidence analysis of each record can separate identities and lead to new research opportunities. Learn about sources, information, and evidence and the power careful analysis has to find errors in research conclusions.
