This week’s webinars focus on building genealogy research skills

There are two webinars this week that caught my attention and I plan to watch.

Thursday, January 15, 8:00 p.m. Eastern time
As part of its Poolside Chat webinar series, the Florida State Genealogical Society presents Ready-Set-Plan! Developing a One-Step Research Plan with J. Mark Lowe.

The probability of creating a successful research project is greatly enhanced when the project begins with a precise statement of research goals and reasoning for the process. A strong basis of collected information is required for a solid, research plan. It is essential that a researcher be familiar with the data or evidence gathered about the subject and location of the project. A researcher with experience and knowledge of this base will be more likely to develop a good plan. This lack of knowledge about the principal research subject is the most likely reason a genealogical research plan will stumble or fail. Learn a simple technique for breaking down difficult research problems into manageable segments. Learn to get more research done while remaining focused.

Legacy Family Tree presents Expanding Your Research from a Single Fact with Marian Pierre-Louis.

We all have some ancestors for whom we have very little information. Perhaps we have a death date or a marriage date and nothing else. In this webinar Marian Pierre-Louis shows you how to expand your research from as little as one single fact. She will use multiple examples to show how even the slightest information can lead to new clues and new resources for your research.
