BRICK WALL SERIES NUMBER 2

Spotlight on Brick Wall Strategies-

Mind Mapping, Separating Same-named People and Transcribing to Mine Data

by Kim Richardson

THIS IS PART 2 OF 4 PART SERIES ON BRICK WALLS

We will review nine ways to solve tough genealogy problems and brick walls in this series. There are four sessions. Each session is about an hour long. Session 1 is an overview and introduction. Each of the other sessions will introduce three strategies and give examples of each strategy.

Each session in the series can be viewed by itself. This second session of the Brick Wall Series will focus on these 3 strategies:

Mind Mapping

Mind mapping is a great tool! It allows you to map, draw out, or diagram related information and thoughts. The process can lead to new ideas and clues to solve that tough genealogy problem. Plus, it's fun!


Separating Same-named People

People with the same name in the same place at the same time can cause confusion. Separating and detangling them will help solve tough genealogy problems.


Transcribing to Mine Data

Transcribing is usually not thought of as the most fun activity in genealogy. But it is one of the best ways to slow down and examine information a little bit at a time. When you take it word by word, you can find clues to answer your genealogy question that you missed previously.


Kim Richardson enjoys serving the genealogy community by coaching and enabling others to do their own research successfully. She assists other genealogists to accomplish their goals and helps clients solve genealogy mysteries. Kim created the Brick Wall Buster Cards to show others her secret to solving tough genealogy problems. She also wrote the “Mississippi Research Guide” for Family Tree Magazine and researches for Finding Your Roots and Who Do You Think You Are?

Access will be through GoToWebinar. Instructions and Connectivity Link will be forwarded via email to all registrants upon registration, six days prior and again 1 hour prior to the event. Making the connection is quick and easy only requiring a computer and Internet connectivity from wherever you chose to watch the event. Your questions help drive the meetings, and we will be there to help each other.
