Creating this flowchart increased my knowledge and aptitude for using digital tools for historical research. FluidChart is another addition to the software I can proficiently use to assist organizations as a student and professional. However, what I walked away from this experience was my first instance of using genealogical research for a historical project. Instead of looking at documents for historical context, I look for familial connections between people using documents as evidence. This skill adds to the depth of my research as a student and as a professional, as it adds another perspective to how I apply research to historical documents. It also allows me to apply additional skills to my research like reading 16th and 17th-century handwriting and differentiating familial titles and names.
