“Applying the Principle of 3 to Genealogy – 3 case studies”
Presented by: Jean Wilcox Hibben
Things seem to happen in groups of 3. Whether the 3 brothers are in a fairy tale or a family story, we like that number. Similarly, when 2 pieces of evidence are contradictory, a third piece may help break the tie. Good research requires more than one item of documentation.
