How do you know that record belongs to your ancestor? Evidence Analysis and Correlation

How do you know if the record you are looking at is your ancestor? I’ve got some suggestions that might help you figure it out. Today we’re talking about correlating evidence using U.S. census and Fold3 records demonstrated on Ancestry.

There is a handout for this episode for the Information Access level channel members and the Happy Dance level Patreon members. Information about how to get the handouts is below. Also it's at GenealogyTV.org - FAN Club Tracking Worksheet here https://genealogytv.org/product/works...
