- Ready to take your genealogy skills to the next level? "Proof is a fundamental concept in genealogy. In order to merit confidence, each conclusion about an ancestor must have sufficient credibility to be accepted as 'proved.' Acceptable conclusions, therefore, set the Genealogical Proof Standard." (Board for Certification of Genealogists) Join Crista Cowan for a look at the first element of the Genealogical Proof Standard - a reasonably exhaustive search.

I started my ancestry tree 15 years ago when I had no idea what I was doing. Now I am trying to learn the right way by watching lots of Crista's tutorials! What I don't understand is how to input "working" information until I have done a reasonably exhaustive search, resolved conflicting evidence and then come to a conclusion! How do I keep all the info on my tree without others thinking it is correct?
Cyndi Bailey use the Notes feature
Don't forget civil or even criminal court case files. I just got a copy of a divorce record that helped resolve a 130-year-old family mystery. I've also found bad debt case files, slander suit files, desertion and blackmail case files, adoption records. Court cases can add a wealth of information on the lives of your ancestors.
good point and advice. I've run into a few of those myself, too!
I recently learned about these videos. I am learning ALOT so happy I liked Ancestry on Facebook .. which is where I found out about these videos. APPRECIATE all the FREE help I can get !
FYI - the US federal census for 1890 was pretty much destroyed by a fire. I believe there are less than 100,000 census records that survived and are available from the 1890 census. But there should have been millions of records available. All the other census records are available online and they are brilliant!!!!
I hope you feel better!
Very nice and infortmative video
Where is the Facebook group/page located at? When I try to search it I just get posts by friends or the promo posts, nothing where I can interact?
+Lisa Parker You can find the Ancestry US Facebook page at facebook.com/ancestryUS. We look forward to interacting with you there!
Lisa Parker I was wondering the same thing! I can only find their Facebook page that you can “like,” but I cannot find a Facebook group where people can interact.
Where would you find pension records?
Are there PDF’s anywhere online that we can print? I am writing everything down but it’s pretty sloppy.

I@@AncestryUS I'm already a paid subscriber and I've taken the Ancestry DNA test. I was thinking a link to a handout that outlines the points in the videos and a link so that we could open and print them.
Is family history wiki only on ancestry.com? I’m in the UK
Well after watching your video, I decided to look through newspapers in the area my family lived. I found out that my Grandfather was being sued for a traffic accident. I collected maybe 8 to 10 copies of these articles and have gotten in touch with the Clerk of Courts. They are looking for the records. Now that I have found this great and interesting information, how do I document it...I am not sure how to do a citation on the information. There is quite a bit...What would you recommend. Is they anyway to collect it all under one link or one location? From 1954 on it gets cluttered. trees.ancestry.com/tree/28941260/person/12115235182 I guess I am a neat freak...smile. Thank you and look forward to hearing from someone. Great video....I am using what I have learned.
