In today's episode of Research Like a Pro, Diana and Nicole discuss the value of negative evidence in genealogy research. They explore the case of Henderson Weatherford, who was long assumed to be the son of William Weatherford. However, a careful examination of William's probate records reveals that Henderson is not listed among the heirs. Additionally, tax records show that Henderson disappeared from the tax rolls between 1861 and 1862, and his property was subsequently listed under his son-in-law's name. The absence of a probate file for Henderson in Dallas County further supports the theory that he was not related to the established Weatherford family in the area.  The hosts emphasize the importance of thoroughly searching available records and documenting negative searches. By paying close attention to what is missing from the records, researchers can disprove family relationships, narrow down time periods for events, and find new research directions.
