Two free webinars Tuesday — photo restoration and integrating proof arguments into genealogical narrative

Decisions, decisions. You will have to pick between two free webinars on Tuesday, May 19, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time: one about photo restoration; the other about integrating genealogical proofs into the genealogical narrative.

The Wisconsin State Genealogical Society will host the webinar, Complete Photo Restoration in 4 Easy Steps. This beginner-level webinar will be presented by Eric Basir.

Scan, restore and print a photo like the pros from beginning to end. This is a fast and fun session. Eric will walk everyone step by step, addressing problems in many family photos relevant to genealogists and sharing technique. He will also take questions. Participants are encouraged to send Eric specific problem files. He intends to use some of the participants’ photos in the presentation.

The Board for Certification of Genealogists will host the webinar, The Family Tapestry: Integrating Proof Arguments into the Genealogical Narrative, by Jeanne Larzalere Bloom, CG.

When we tell a story, sometimes we need to stop and explain. Just how did we figure out who the main character’s mother was – without any census, vital records, or probate records? This problem confronts every genealogist who prepares a portfolio for certification as well.

Ms. Bloom will use the language of weaving and the work of distinguished philosopher Stephen Toulmin to deal with this perennial issue in writing up genealogical research.

Visit the Board for Certification of Genealogists’ website for more information and registration details.
