Journalists and newsletter editors, please post this where you can. We are aware that this is late, but most people watch our meetings without knowing who the speakers are and more people watch the videos later rather than live. More information is available on our UVTAGG webpage https://uvtagg.org . Those who subscribe to our Press Release blog https://blog.uvtagg.org/ receive an email reminder about the meeting a day or two before it. If you have questions, please contact me. Thanks.

UNDERSTANDING INTENDED IDENTITY: THE KEY TO FIXING AND AVOIDING PROBLEMS IN FAMILYSEARCH FAMILY TREE
Who is that Family Tree person—really? What if there's not a lot of information or what if information conflicts? Learn tips for determining the intended identity of a Family Tree person, and how that information can help you solve problems and improve accuracy.
After years on the sidelines, Kathryn began doing family history. Somewhat to her surprise, she discovered that she loved it! Her specialty is helping new family historians find success—and maybe even avoid some of the mistakes she’s made. Kathryn teaches Sunday classes at the BYU Family History Library and presents at other family history events. Her column on family history ran in the Nauvoo Times for about a year and is still available online. In addition, she’s a regular contributor to the FamilySearch blog. Kathryn works as a technical writer and instructional designer with a focus on usability and process improvement. Her current work assignment includes developing training used on mobile devices. Besides family history, she loves uplifting music, thought-provoking books, and fresh raspberries.
