Past and current research is conducted and based on the 5 elements of the Genealogical Proof Standard.
My intention for this page is to include a research blog to validate my findings and to encourage others to pursue genealogical research within their branch of the Lock(e) Family Tree.
The Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) was created by the Board for Certification of Genealogists. It’s used to create sound, credible genealogical proof statements, and gives genealogists a standard to measure conclusions against.
The GPS has five elements:
Reasonably exhaustive research
Complete and accurate citation of sources
Correlation and analysis of the evidence
Resolution of contradictory evidence
A conclusion that is soundly reasoned and written coherently
