One Name Studies: How to Use them for your Family History

Surname (or One-Name Studies) unique in their composition, provide many opportunities to hone your genealogy investigations and focus on one surname. This presentation covers the benefits of these studies, describes the various approaches that are used to carry them out, provides examples of ways that your work can be shared with others, and showcases how you can use the work of other surname researchers even if you decide these types of studies are not for you!
