The Hive 2904 E Sprague, Spokane WA Hybrid Meeting

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!
