ARCHIVED: WACKY Wednesday Quick Click Genealogy

DearREADERS,
My *very* distant cousin Hazmat Harriet hosted this discussion of the perils of quick click genealogy. These are links we mention:

• DearMYRTLE's Principles of the Pinball Approach to Genealogy http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/2013/01/principles-of-pinball-approach-to.html
• Board for Certification of Genealogists GPS (Genealogical Proof Standard) briefly explained http://bcgcertification.org/resources/standard.html

  In Item 7 above Randy writes "I have two trees on Ancestry - I attach Hints to the tree with only my Ancestral family - not to the tree with all of my Research.  I try to keep the Research tree "clean" from Ancestry events (because they add duplicate events and are not accurate in some cases) and source citations (since they are not Evidence! Explained quality)."
• Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings: Pinball Genealogy - Enriching My Genealogy Database http://www.geneamusings.com/2013/01/pinball-genealogy-enriching-my.html and Randy Seaver's "Principles of Pinball Approach to Genealogical Research" Defined and Discussed http://www.geneamusings.com/2013/01/principles-of-pinball-approach-to.html
