Family history fundamentals course – Part 3 Documenting and presenting, Tue 14 Jun
Part three is focused on how to share your discoveries with other researchers, including: charts, software, reports, books and online, allowing you to choose a method that best suits you. This session differentiates between documentation and presentation, and what is required in the correct execution of both. An important final step is how to ensure your citation process is as easy as can be.
