Finding Proof for Your Family History and Genealogy

In a criminal court of law, you need to prove someone's guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt. Similarly in genealogy, we need to have evidence that after “reasonably exhaustive research,” the evidence points to a solid conclusion. In this process we're searching for all records possible and we are weighing the evidence for its validity. 📚 BOOK Genealogical Standards, 2nd Ed. by BGC (affiliate) https://amzn.to/3vVoobB 👉 Subscribe to Genealogy TV (Free)    / @genealogytv   ❤️ JOIN the GENEALOGY TV ACADEMY https://genealogytv.org/about-genealo... 📝📝📝THREE DIFFERENT WAYS to find the HANDOUTS! 📝 1) Become a CHANNEL MEMBER at the INFO ACCESS level $9.99 per month.
