Genealogy research, or family history research, is very ‘messy’. It seems to be a matter of trail & error. Data sources are incomplete & sometimes even inaccurate. Data ‘silos’ are unconnected. How does one discover insights in such an environment? I am trying to ask ‘why not’ questions as I start researching my family history.
Sounds familiar? The ‘data problem’ confronting genealogists may be a common business problem in today’s world. There may be a connection between genealogy and big data.
yes of course, this is about test and learn. small low risk and invite failure. pretty common approach to be frank
