Evaluating the Accuracy of Entries in the FamilySearch Family Tree

Description

Because all of the content of the FamilySearch Family Tree is user contributed, there is an issue with the accuracy of some of the entries. This class examines some common problems that you may encounter and how to resolve them. The issues primarily arise from lack of proper sources and failing to consider the reasonableness of travel in the distant past. Come and listen to how some of these issues can be identified.
