Hybrid Meeting
Perry Mason and Joe Friday as Guides for Genealogy Research – Separating Fact from Fiction, Make-Believe and Everything in Between”
We will explore some time-tested courtroom practices that can help genealogists (and other public historians) as they make decisions about:
- How reliable and trustworthy is that piece of paper? (The Case of Doubtful Document)
- What makes a person credible about things that happened in the past. (The Case of the Off-Base Oral History)
- What to do about conflicting evidence? (The Case of the Multiple Dates of Birth)
- How much evidence is enough evidence? (The Case of the Over-Proven Fact)
And of course, there will be more!
Doors open as 12:30 p.m. for social time
