10 am - 11 am MDT: PEGGY CLEMENS LAURITZEN on ANALYSIS AND CORRELATION: A CASE STUDY ON A MISSING FAMILY
ABOUT THE PRESENTATION:
One of the elements of the Genealogical Proof Standard is
analyzing your information and documentation and correlating it
with other known facts. Does the research trail end when you can’t
find the family?
analyzing your information and documentation and correlating it

This is an advanced-level class presenting a case study that was
used in a First Families of Ohio application. It particularly drills
deeper into census research when an ancestor was supposedly
missed. By correlating the missing information with known
information of the time period, a new family story emerges.
ABOUT PEGGY CLEMENS LAURITZEN, AG, AGL, FOGS:
Peggy Clemens Lauritzen was involved in genealogy before she was even born. One of her favorite pictures is of her mother doing cemetery research four days before Peggy was born. The daughter of avid genealogists, she was spending time in courthouses and cemeteries while other children were playing on swings and going to the beach. The love of her family's history has never left her. With her experience as a former Family History Director, she is a frequent speaker at genealogical societies, workshops, seminars, and webinars where she loves bringing genealogy to life. Some of those would include The Ohio Genealogical Society, The Ohio State University, Brigham Young University, and many other state and local genealogy societies. Peggy is on the boards for the Utah Genealogical Association and the Association of Professional Genealogists.
