Has your family history research spiraled out of control? Are you finding materials scattered throughout your home? Or perhaps you’re new to genealogy and searching for ways to organize the information you’ve uncovered. If so, this presentation is for you!

Join us as we explore practical strategies to bring order to your genealogy project. Topics will include how to begin (or start over), essential organization basics, using research checklists, creating a plan, logging your discoveries, tracking sources, and choosing between paper and digital systems. We’ll also discuss ways to future-proof your project. While there’s no single ‘right’ way to organize your research, this session aims to provide inspiration and tools to help you determine your next steps.
