The Genealogy Puzzle: Putting the Right Pieces Together Webinar
Genealogy is like working on a giant puzzle—some pieces are obvious, others are missing, and a few might seem like they don’t fit at all. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to approach your family history with a puzzle-solver’s mindset. Learn how to sort through clues, evaluate evidence, identify gaps, and make connections across generations and record types. Whether you're stuck on a brick wall or trying to assemble your tree with more confidence, this class will help you see the big picture—and find the pieces that bring it all together.
Colette Hokanson loves people—both the living and the dead. She holds a B.S. from Brigham Young University and is accredited in Swedish research through the International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists (ICAPGen).
Colette Hokanson currently serves on both the United States & Canada team and the Nordic team at the FamilySearch Library. With over 20 years of experience in family history, Colette has traveled extensively with her husband in search of ancestral connections. She's not afraid to climb a wall, knock on a stranger’s door, or drive to the top of a Norwegian mountain in pursuit of new genealogical discoveries.
