Research Plans

Do you have an genealogy brick wall research challenge? Have you written a research plan for investigating it? That is the first step. It's the Pre-Research that will allow you to research more effectively.  

At the SLO Genealogical Society "Implementing Professional Standards" discussion group in July, we discussed how to write a research plan. Here are some helpful links:
