Janice says: ”
The Genealogical Proof Standard isn’t just a way to measure the reliability of your research after the fact. It’s actually a excellent way to help you work your way through tough research problems. In this lecture, I’ll show you how to apply the GPS to a typical early Ontario research challenge, step by step. “
