I've been dabbling with genealogy for over 20 years. I don't have any "credentials" except for experience. I try to be as thorough and accurate as I can be. I like to use unconventional ways of getting information: regular databases, mixed with social media, and a dash of inspiration. I try to paint a picture in my mind of what the person was like, what made them tick. Dates and records reveal a lot more about the person if you ponder the circumstances that created the record.
