"EVALUATING GENEALOGICAL EVIDENCE' by Suzanne Young
Brayer

that, we need to look at all the evidence, analyze it and draw conclusions.
Analyzing evidence is the topic of Suzanne Young Brayer's presentation

A graduate of Arizona State University, with a Bachelor of Arts in History,
Suzanne continued on to receive a Master of Arts in History/Secondary
Education, also from ASU. She has been a teacher of history and
psychology in Arizona public schools since 1980. She and her father
worked together gathering the pieces of their ancestry "puzzle" for over 20
years. Like most of us, her ancestry represents the "melting pot' of
