Panel participants will attend a strategy session in the green room 30 minutes before a session goes live.
A post announcing panel participants will be posted the week of December 18, 2016.
WHAT ABOUT COMMUNITY HOMEWORK?
Other members of our hangout community may submit homework, and we will elect to include their responses in our study group sessions when possible. These would typically run 4-5 pages in length depending on the embedded images of old documents.
1. Study each chapter a week in advance.
2. Decide on one concept within the chapter to illustrate with an example from your research.
3. Compose homework using the following style at the top:
Genealogy Proof Standard Study Group4. Publish your homework in either blog or Google Doc format for study participants to review in advance.

[Insert your response to a principle the author brings out in the chapter, including a few scanned images of documents used to make your point.]
5. Post the link to your homework in the DearMYRTLE hangout "unified chat" for the appropriate study group session. Note: Beginning in 2017, a month's worth of hangouts will be scheduled in advance. Look for a new post the Sunday prior to the beginning of a new month.Watch for these at:
http://hangouts.DearMYRTLE.com
NOTE: All study group participants are to strictly adhere to copyright guidelines. There is to be absolutely
no reposting of author Christine Rose's sample case study. Quotations
should be properly cited, and brief in nature since this book is only 56
pages in length. Anyone coming across your
work would be referred to the book to evaluate your answers in context.
As with other DearMYRTLE hangouts, registration is required using either a Facebook, Google, LinkedIn or Twitter account. Google is required of panel participants. Beginning in 2017, Ol' Myrt here will begin posting hangout registration links on a monthly basis,m rather than weekly. You will find the links at: http://hangouts.DearMYRTLE.com, then look for confirmation and reminder emails with your personal URL to join the session.
See you at RootsTech 2017. Register here.
Happy family tree climbing!
