Do you have multiple ancestors with the same name living in the same area? It’s one of the most common—and frustrating—challenges in genealogy research. In this video, I’ll show you how to use spreadsheets to organize your findings and finally make sense of complex family structures across census records.
By mapping out details from Native Census Rolls and other records side-by-side, you can spot patterns, distinguish between individuals, and break through those "same-name" brick walls.
This clip is a highlight from our deep dive into Native American research. Watch the full, in-depth video here for more advanced strategies: 🔗youtu.be/C2wvuPIE5Ko
