SUMMARY:Evidence Analysis: Proving What You Think You Know by Linda Hammond
  
DESCRIPTION:How many of the “facts” in your family tree are truly prove
 n - and how many are just educated guesses? In genealogy\, it’s all too 
 easy to fall into the trap of assumptions: a family story that must be tru
 e\, an “obvious” connection that fits neatly\, or a record that seems 
 reliable at first glance. But without careful evidence analysis\, we risk 
 building a house of cards.This talk introduces you to the tools and method
 s that turn uncertain clues into sound conclusions. You’ll learn the dif
 ference between information\, evidence\, and proof\; how to distinguish di
 rect\, indirect\, and even negative evidence\; and why the Genealogical Pr
 oof Standard (GPS) is your best safeguard against errors. Through clear ex
 amples\, we’ll explore how to handle conflicting sources\, weigh reliabi
 lity\, and avoid common misconceptions about records. You’ll also discov
 er practical tools - like evidence tables and research logs - that make an
 alysis manageable and effective. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned
  researcher\, this talk will sharpen your detective skills\, boost your co
 nfidence\, and help you move from “I think” to “I know” in your fa
 mily history research.
