GenSmarts Finds Missed Research Opportunites Are there research techniques you¡¯ve missed or under-applied? Here¡¯s an example: You¡¯re probably aware that the 1880 U.S. census asked for the birthplace of a person¡¯s parents. Suppose you have an ancestor born in 1780, and his son, your direct line, was born in 1800. Since both the father and son died prior to 1850, you might not think about the 1880 census for this family. BUT WAIT¡­ this son had a younger brother, born in 1815¡­ he might still be alive in 1880, and could give you the birth location of your 1780 ancestor. GenSmarts applies complex research logic like this to identify research opportunities.
