Scheduled Presentations for 8th WACCON

Title: No Shaky Leaves Here - Real Proof in Genealogy

Summary: Good genealogy isn’t built on guesses. The Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) provides the tools to evaluate evidence, resolve conflicts, and write solid, defensible conclusions. Moving beyond shaky hints means building research that can stand up to questions from family, clients, and fellow genealogists with confidence and clarity.
