Creating an Effective Research Plan Workshop

I am excited to be a part of the Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society (MAGS) Spring Workshop this year. We will spend three hours discussing how to create an effective research plan, and then have time for hands-on practice where participants create a research plan for an ancestor they are working on. The planning method taught will include thinking through the research problem, creating a profile of your ancestor, analyzing documents collected, identifying resources available for the time and place, and creating a written plan to guide your research. I hope to see some of my local reader there!
