On Sunday February 20th 2010, The New England Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists presented Dr. Thomas W. Jones at Boston University with 2 lectures.

1)  Correlating Sources, Information and Evidence to Solve Genealogical Problems

Analysis and interpretation principles applicable to any kind of genealogical source; working with evidence from many sources; seeing patterns, parallels, and conflicts in evidence; working with records in a series (including censuses, tax rolls, rent rolls, city directories, communion lists, guardian and estate accounts); timelines, matrices, and other ways of graphically arranging evidence; explaining how records correlate and using correlation to build a convincing case.

2) Writing Genealogy as it relates to the above topic

Writing clearly, effectively, and accurately; elements of proof summaries, complex-evidence case studies and kinship-determination projects; and other materials that advanced genealogists prepare.
