This presentation aims to introduce you to the skill of Mind Mapping in relation to genealogical research. Mind maps are not a new invention; they have been around for centuries. They are basically a hierarchical diagram used to visually organize information.
Mind maps can be as simple or complex as you want them to be, however they help organise your planning and thought processes by visually mapping the information. We will explore how they can be used at each stage in your research: planning, problem solving, reporting and even writing up. We will use practical examples to show how they can prove invaluable in breaking down brick walls and also discover how they can clearly show up conflicting data issues in your research and likewise gaps in your research plans. Once you implement mind mapping into your skill set you’ll find it invaluable.
