Designing a Genealogy Survey

✨ Writing Prompt

As a genealogy researcher, you want to gather information about individual experiences in family history exploration. Your task is to design a structured survey that will help you collect data on how people conduct their genealogical research, the tools they use, and the challenges they face. Consider what types of questions—open-ended, multiple choice, or Likert scale—would be most effective in gathering nuanced insights. Ensure your survey includes introductory instructions, demographic questions, and specific questions about their research methods and goals. Aim for clarity and conciseness in your question wording and decide how you will distribute this survey to reach your target audience.
