This is an excellent presentation and certainly one of the best and most useful I have viewed in relation to the Genealogy Proof Standard. The practical examples were particularly helpful. Thank you.

Thanks I am working to create my first research report after doing genealogy for a decade. I reached the point a systematic approach is needed to fix data in my family tree. I found this video very effective and helping me to organize my thoughts to write down what the records state and handle inconsistencies. Thanks.

Thank you for providing this excellent resource for writing proof arguments. Your model is well-developed and will be helpful in writing summaries and research reports. Consider writing a digital book with more examples and full proofs.

Thank you, we will consider your suggestion.
