MGP2 - Chapter 5 GPS Element 3: Analysis and Correlation

DearREADERS,
Now that we've pulled information items from each document and cited the source of each, we now face the task of analysis: "What does the information item state or imply?" We must then correlate these findings with information items from in all sources to determine an answer to our research question.

Tomorrow's MGP2 (Mastering Genealogical Proof Study Group 2) will tackle Chapter 5 of Dr. Thomas W. Jones' Mastering Genealogical Proof.

HOMEWORK
Read each chapter in advance of the study group session, but don't attempt to do your written homework until the panel has discussed the chapter. We are on the honor system here. No need to check in with Ol' Myrt. In fact, Dr. Jones has provided answers at the end of the book.
