You have slaved over your client report. You have delved into the data, mined it for every iota of information, you have examined and evaluated your sources, analyzed and correlated your evidence, resolved any conflicts, and carefully crafted a narrative. Your report is accurate, but does your presentation compellingly tell the story? Does your work convincingly summarize the depth and breadth of your analysis? Are you using all the tools available to you to effectively communicate with your clients and engagingly present the story of their ancestors?
The webinar by Margaret R. Fortier, CG®, “Visualizing Information for Genealogists,” presented by the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree Webinars, will answer these questions, showing us how to use text and images effectively in genealogical reports, and why it matters. Several examples will illustrate how to go from raw data to a polished, professional display of information.
The live webinar, free to the public, will be presented on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, at 8 p.m. Eastern time. The webinar can also be accessed at no charge for a week after the broadcast.
