THE GENEALOGICAL EVIDENCE, DOCUMENTATION & WRITING GROUP – Need help with your genealogical proofs? This SIG has just started an eight-month study of Thomas W. Jones’ book Mastering Genealogical Proof, examining a chapter a month. We will read Chapter 2, do the exercises, and discuss our answers at our next meeting. Everyone is welcome. Jones’ book is available at the NGS website (https://www.ngsgenealogy.org) for $26 for NGS members, $31 for non-members. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 24th at 10:00 a.m. at the Family History Center.
