# From Dates to Stories: How Timelines Can Transform Your Family History Research

## Thursday, December 11, 3:00-4:00 p.m. Eastern Time

##### Presented by Rhonda R. McClure

When examining records, it can be easy to make the misstep of simply filling in the dates on our family trees and continuing with our research, or even ignoring some dates all together. In this online lecture, Senior Genealogist Rhonda R. McClure will discuss how dates can contain important clues for your family history research. In particular, she will discuss how examining dates in relation to one another in a timeline can shed light on new insights and stories hidden within your family tree.
