When you add someone to your family tree, how do you know they’re really your ancestor? This beginner-friendly webinar introduces the simple, five-element framework of the Genealogical Proof Standard that takes the guesswork out of building and accurate family tree. Crista Cowan breaks down what professional genealogists use to verify family connections and shows you how to apply these same principles as you explore your own family history. You’ll learn what quality family tree work looks like, understand how to evaluate the accuracy of what you’ve already built, and gain confidence that you’re climbing YOUR family tree, not someone else’s. Walk away knowing what it looks like when it’s done right.
