Description: Presented live 23 July 2022:
“They say with age comes wisdom. And though so many things have changed in the past 20 years, the core of good genealogy research has remained the same.”

This NAGS July presentation will review Family Tree Magazine’s list of "20 Timeless Genealogy Research Tips" to enhance your research, no matter where you are in your genealogy journey.

After many years of specializing in marketing and sales, Sharon Atkins transitioned to take her passion, genealogy research, into sharing the excitement of this pursuit with others. She has been an avid genealogist since 1980 and is a member of APG (Association of Professional Genealogists), NAGS (Northern Arizona Genealogical Society), AzCPG (Arizona Council of Professional Genealogists, and NEHGS (New England Historical and Genealogical Society). Sharon teaches "how to" genealogy classes, coaches other family history researchers via genealogy workshops, and performs genealogy research for clients.
