Cranberry Genealogy Club: Developing Good Research Questions

To be efficient, effective researchers, genealogists need to develop good research questions. Amy will cover the elements of good research questions and how to put them together. We’ll have time to write and share our own research questions.

This meeting is free and open to the public. If you plan to attend virtually, pre-registration is required at cranberrygenealogy.org.
