Negative Space: how gaps can help your genealogy flourish


I had this email from Family Tree Magazine (UK) with details of an interesting webinar tomorrow evening. What do you think, could it be of interest to you too?

FAMILY TREE WEBINAR: 5 NOVEMBER, 7:30PM
How genealogy gaps can help your tree flourish

Did you know that…? If your ancestor died at 60, they were alive for nearly 22,000 days? If you’re lucky, you probably know what they were doing on perhaps 10 of those.

So why aren’t we spending more time thinking about what the gaps in our family history research are telling us? Those gaps – known as ‘NEGATIVE SPACE’ – matter, because they can completely change our impression of what our ancestors’ stories actually are.

The solution: a technique called the ‘Negative Space Approach’.

We’re going to throw our research gaps into the spotlight and use them to transform brick walls into assets that can direct and shape our onward research:

      • sharpening our searches
      • reducing bias
      • boosting our critical thinking
      • opening our eyes to the real stories of those that came before us

The webinar will take place live on Zoom. There will be time for your questions and the session will be recorded, with the video available to watch until 15 November.

Who is this presentation suitable for?

Whatever your level of experience, wherever you’re from, this session promises to transform the way you look at your family history research.
