Using a Research Methodology for Family History
Speaker: Phil Isherwood
The sources we rely on for our family histories provide information, but the analysis of that information and formulation into proof requires a structured method. Currently there is little guidance on this for beginning and intermediate family historians, especially in the UK. This talk will discuss methodologies, what they are and why they are useful. It will introduce a research methodology and show how it can be used to successfully solve complex cases.
Phil Isherwood has worked in the software industry for over 30 years and has been researching his family history for more than half of that time. He is interested in the use of methodologies and technology in both genealogy and his professional life. Phil is a Family History Advisor for Oxfordshire Family History Society, is a committee member for OFHS’s Online Meeting Group and is co-founder of networking group for aspiring professional genealogists.
