Indirect Evidence: Finding What Was Not Written
by Rebecca Whitman Koford, CG, CGL
7 p.m., via Zoom
There are times when it seems that an ancestor must have been dropped to Earth (or swept away therefrom) by aliens. No matter how hard you try, no matter how many records you search, nothing provides you with explicit information (direct evidence) on that ancestor’s parents, or what became of his children, etc. But even in the absence of such direct evidence, it is possible to arrive at valid conclusions using indirect evidence.
Rebecca Whitman Koford is a genealogical lecturer and writer who has presented at NGS conferences, RootsTech, and Legacy webinars. She is a course coordinator of IGHR and has presented at SLIG and GRIP. She was executive director of the Board for Certification of Genealogists from 2018 to 2024 and is director of the annual Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (Gen-Fed) at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
