Speaker: Annette Burke Lyttle
Genealogical Proof for the Everyday Genealogist
Description: How do you know if the facts you’ve uncovered are correct? How do you avoid attaching somebody else’s ancestors to your family tree? This introduction to the Genealogical Proof Standard will get your research moving in the right direction from the beginning and help you avoid errors and frustration.
Annette Burke Lyttle owns Heritage Detective, LLC, providing professional genealogical services in research, education, and writing. She speaks on a variety of genealogical topics at the national, state, and local levels and also coordinates courses at genealogical institutes. She loves helping people uncover and share their family stories. Annette is a member of the board of directors of the Association of Professional Genealogists. Her genealogical education includes courses at three genealogical institutes, as well as the ProGen Study Group.

Introduction to Genealogy Class
Are you curious about how to get started researching your ancestors? Try this class...
This class for beginning researchers consists of three sessions. Sessions I and II are held in the History Room on the second floor of the Indian River County Main Library. Session III is held in the Genealogy Department on the second floor of the Indian River County Main Library.
Session I is a lecture on getting started -- how to record and organize your facts; how to search for additional information; how to find and use available resources.
Session II is a lecture and demonstration -- how to find information on the internet and learning to use the library's genealogy department resources.
Session III is a hands-on session using the library's genealogy department computers to search online for your ancestors' records and other information.
The next classes have not yet been determined.
These classes are generally held monthly; no November or December classes.
