What’s Been Done: Using Someone Else’s Genealogy Research

Many of us as genealogists have inherited research from a relative and we are not always sure whether the content is reliable? What is the best way to incorporate the research of others into your own research without leading to dead ends, road blocks and unnecessary detours? Whether you are new to genealogy or you have been working on your family history for years, incorporating the research of others can always be tricky. Here is how to develop a proven strategy to protect the integrity of your own findings while benefiting from the work of other genealogists  as you combine their content with your own research.
