Citation does not have to be intimidating or something to avoid. Our focus will be on citation for the non-professional who realizes that they need to cite but does not want to become obsessed with it. In this hour-long presentation we will see how to cite:

• census records
• wills
• obituaries–both in the newspaper and one you found in Grandma’s old bible
• photographs
• tombstones
• family items and heirlooms
• vital records
• more as time allows
