September 12, 2026. In-person event hosted by the Minnesota Genealogical Society at the Minnesota Genealogy Center, Mendota Heights, Minnesota. A GenElements Class: “Research Plans: Hands-On Workshop.”  It’s not as simple as opening the refrigerator and seeing that the milk jug is almost empty. You simply add that to the shopping list. Planning our shopping list for genealogical research is more involved but not beyond reach. In our research, success improves with planning, discussion, and techniques that develop step-by-step research plans. We need to add the who, what, and where. 36 Analyzing information, recognizing detail gaps, and creating research goals are key. No need to stare at a census, story, obituary, will, deed, or other item and stress about what’s next in the search. Learn steps to create a solid step-by-step research plan, including some audience participation. Tips and examples for creating such plan will be included in the presentation and handout. During this session we will work on some specific documents together and compile step-by-step research plans. These group exercises may show that you know more than you think!
