New Subject: Timelines Several of you have asked this: “How do I KNOW that I have the right person in my Family Tree?” We’ve all asked ourselves this very same question! We’ll examine Timelines to see how they could help provide us PROOF! We’ll look at some examples and then each of you will do a Timeline on one of your ancestors. Be thinking about which individual or individuals in your Family line you would choose and bring any records you think you may need. And, by the way, this is one of those times you want to bring pencils and erasers. Doesn’t this sound like fun? We’ll see you then.
