About this Event

Program

Karen Stanbary, CG, CGG, will lead the session, "Writing About Genetic Evidence: Practice the Principles to Meet Genealogy Standards."

Detailed Virtual Workshop Description:

Students engage in hands-on activities designed to teach the principles applicable to written work discussing genetic evidence. Genealogy Standards provides the organizing framework. The workshop focuses on crafting paragraphs that tie together the documentary and genetic evidence with reasoning. Students practice writing about a wide variety of genealogical questions that are answered with the integration of documentary and genetic evidence. Activities provide guidance about the selection of evidence to include and exclude. Documentation principles help the student create citations that communicate analysis to the reader. Students design reader-friendly tables and figures and write paragraphs to explain the data presented. Topics include writing about pedigree evaluation and mitigation, pedigree collapse, and conflict resolution.
