25 Dec 2023 The Occasional Genealogist Blog : Are you noting your clues?

Hi Ian,

Do you have a genealogy mystery you can’t seem to solve?

·        You’ve been successfully building your family tree but now you’re stuck and don’t know what to do next.

·        You keep searching for the name, date, place, or relationship you need but you can’t find it.

·        You’ve solved genealogy mysteries before but those fixes aren’t working.

·        You’ve heard you should use clues in genealogy but you don’t know where to find them.

What if there was a way to always know what to do next? What if you already had the clues to point you towards the solution to YOUR mystery.

That’s why I created Your Genealogy Mystery: Noting the Clues. Not every answer is sitting there for you to discover. Most genealogy mysteries are solved with clues. Using clues can be an advanced skill BUT you have to capture the clues, first.

Right now you’re struggling with a genealogy mystery you can’t seem to solve. You’ve searched for a solution online. Maybe you’ve even searched offline but you can’t find “the answer.” You could use some clues but you don’t know where to find those either. You’re stuck at a genealogy brick wall!

·        Imagine if you knew where to go to find clues for YOUR mystery.

·        Imagine if you could quickly understand what you’ve already done for a genealogy problem.

·        Imagine if you had a simple way to “upgrade” your genealogy project from the beginner’s work you did at first to meet and even exceed your current skills.

You can do all of this with Your Genealogy Mystery: Noting the Clues and you can learn the core information and get started uncovering new clues in your old records, tonight.

​Noting the Clues is a mini-course so you can finish it FAST. Plus it includes templates so you can get started noting YOUR clues, right away.

P.S. If an online course isn’t in your budget, that’s what the blog and newsletter are for. The second half of this post covers creating an answer. This is one post in a series about learning about new sources, including why you might not need new sources to solve your problem (hint: that would be because you can use clues from your existing sources). Combine this free information about sources, information, and evidence (clues) with our other posts about note-taking. The note-taking posts are a great place to start whether you are enrolling in Noting the Clues or not.
