AGS presents A Pig In a Poke

Arlington Genealogical Society presents John Wylie, a professional genealogist since 1990, discussing A Pig In a Poke -- Misleading, Misunderstood and Misused Resources: I found her!! ...but is the source right? Sources can be accurate, helpful, misleading, false, and impossible to evaluate. And one source can be all of these. But, which is which? Knowing how to practice healthy skepticism, especially on the Internet, can save time and trouble. Using examples, we'll learn how to glean the gold from the glitter and how to assign surety to our conclusions.

John Wylie serves the Texas State Genealogical Society as President Elect, the Association of Professional Genealogists as National Secretary 2006 - 2009, the National Genealogical Society as a member of the GenTech Advisory Committee 2002 - 2009 and the Grand Prairie Genealogical Society as past-president and current Library Liaison.

Arlington Genealogical Society meets every 2nd Tuesday of the month.
