“Should You Take the Hint? Automatic Record Hinting on the Giant Genealogy Websites”
Presented by: Sunny Jane Morton
Should you take the hint? We all love the promise of those shaking green leaves on Ancestry.com, which indicate hints of new information for our family tree. But should we accept the hint and add it to our tree, or will it lead us in the wrong direction? Join our April presentation by Sunny Jane Morton to learn how automated record hints on Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org, Findmypast.com and MyHeritage.com can help you discover records that may be about your family. Discover how hints may differ from search results and how to use both tools most effectively. Learn valuable tips on evaluating records and incorporating details into your tree. A beginner-oriented lecture with great reminders for more experienced researchers, too.
