I was fortunate to teach in the Advanced Land course at GRIP in July and thoroughly enjoyed this new genealogy institute. It is making it's mark on the map with a comfortable "summer camp for genealogists" atmosphere and quality instruction. I hope to be able to add it to my education plan on a regular basis.
The following
announcement was written by Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, and Deborah Litchner Deal of the Genealogical Research Institute of
Pittsburgh:
The Genealogical
Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP) announced that its next institute will
be held in Pittsburgh July 20-25, 2014. Of the six courses scheduled for 2014,
three have never been given before. GRIP is proud to be able to present fresh
course content and popular topics. These include:
Intermediate Genealogy: Tools for Digging Deeper with Paula Stuart-Warren, CG, FMGS, FUGA.
Stuart-Warren focuses on unusual resources, manuscripts, methodology, and analyzing records. She researches across the U.S. and brings her experience into the class room. She encourages students to bring their own family history problems for brainstorming and discussion. This gives a personal approach to the course which gives a solid foundation and fills in knowledge gaps.
Determining Kinship Reliably with the Genealogical Proof Standard with Thomas W. Jones, PhD., CG, CGL
Learn how to achieve genealogical proof by planning and executing focused research, citing the resulting sources, testing the evidence they contain, assembling evidence into a conclusion, and explaining it clearly. Jones has edited the National Genealogical Society Quarterly since 2002 where many proof arguments are published. The course scope and sequence follow the content of his book, Mastering Genealogical Proof.
