RLP 58 Track Your Family with a Timeline - A Tale of Two Swedes

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about how to use timelines to help you get started with your research project. As you gather all the sources about your objective that you already have and put them in a timeline, you'll notice holes, make connections, have ideas for your research plan, and may even discover that you already have the answer. We talk about different ways to make timelines and recommend our favorite method. We also discuss Diana's case study of separating two Swedish men of the same name in Massachusetts and how a timeline was invaluable for coming to the correct conclusion.
