FAQPage Schema
How do I create a genealogy research plan that follows the Genealogical Proof Standard?

To create a GPS-compliant genealogy research plan, you need structured templates for research plans, logs, and citations that standardize documentation and ensure reproducible results. This approach guides evidence analysis and source evaluation.

What is the FAN principle in genealogy research and when should I use it?

The FAN principle in genealogy research identifies family, associates, and neighbors to build robust evidence when direct records are missing. Use it to expand your research scope and establish defensible conclusions about an ancestor's relationships.

How do I organize research logs and citations for a family history project across multiple record types?

Organize research logs and citations for family history projects using standardized templates that document sources across multiple record types. This ensures GPS-compliant workflows and reproducible results for evidence analysis.

Can I use this genealogy planning approach to establish an ancestor's birth location and parentage?

Yes, you can plan a genealogy project to establish an ancestor's birth location and parentage using a documented workflow. The structured templates guide FAN-based strategy and GPS-compliant proof argument development for defensible conclusions.

What's the best way to develop a genealogical proof argument from collected evidence?

Develop a genealogical proof argument by applying GPS methodology and source evaluation to your collected evidence. The process supports reporting that builds defensible conclusions from your research logs and citation entries.
