Transcription, abstraction, and extraction are often confused, yet each serves a different research purpose. This session explains when and why to use each method, demonstrates practical techniques, and shows how these skills improve accuracy and analysis. Learn how choosing the right approach helps prevent missed clues and supports stronger genealogical conclusions.
