Practicing Logic and Analysis: The Case of Henry F Neher

Research problems in genealogy are as varied as life itself. As decision-making in life is helped by knowing a few facts and acting with common sense on them, so research into family structure is like life decisions. Begin with as much evidence as you have at hand, and then add to that store one piece at a time until you have enough to make a sensible, fact-supported conclusion. Sometimes it takes only the tiniest tidbit of truth to clinch the conclusion.

This program is free and open to the public.
