10 am - 11 am MDT: KATHRYN GRANT on USING FAMILYSEARCH'S TREE INTEGRITY FEATURES
ABOUT THE PRESENTATION:
You've likely noticed that FamilySearch has been adding features to Family Tree to improve "tree integrity": the accuracy and trustworthiness of information in the shared tree. This presentation will highlight several of these features, including the new edit guidance feature. We'll cover how the features work and provide tips for using them. These features make it easier than ever to contribute quality information, correct errors, and avoid common mistakes.
ABOUT KATHRYN GRANT:
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.
