You may want to look at the Tips for Quickly Getting Through Registration prepared by Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL and Deborah Litchner Deal, the directors of GRIP. With the lineup of new course and excellent instructors, the institute is sure to sell out.
Here are the courses you have to choose from:
Intermediate Genealogy: Tools for Digging Deeper
Coordinator: Paula Stuart-Warren, CG, FMGS, FUGA
Coordinator: Paula Stuart-Warren, CG, FMGS, FUGA
Instructors Debbie Mieszala, CG, and D. Joshua Taylor, MA, MLS
Are you beyond the
beginning stages of researching your family history? You probably have
checked the basic records and done online searches but still have blanks
to fill in. Maybe you need to gain more leads and judge the records but
need some analytical skills for that. We will delve deeper into a
variety of records, some that you may have never heard about, and where
they may be accessed. During the week there will be some hands-on
projects, small group discussions, and full class interaction as we
develop research plans, delve into the records, and learn what may get
those blanks filled in. The camaraderie of solving problems as a group
leads us to great insight and also some fun.
The class covers 19th
through 21st century U.S. records and includes online resources. Prior
to the course students will be able to send the coordinator a brief
research issue of their own along with a listing of the U.S. places
where their ancestors resided and what has already been researched. The
course includes some “homework” that is optional but highly suggested.
Students often find they like those learning exercises. An extensive
syllabus including online resources is provided.
Finding and Documenting African-American Families

Coordinators: J. Mark Lowe, CG, FUGA and Debbie A. Abbott, Ph.D.
Discovering evidence of
African American families can be difficult and sometimes impossible.
Learn to follow proven strategies to gather and analyze a variety of
record types while building upon strong foundations. We will use a
framework of five cases to illustrate how to apply the evidence in each
particular case. Records will require hands-on project discovery time.

Coordinator: Thomas W. Jones, Ph.D., CG, CGL, FASG, FUGA, FNGS
Instructor Karen Mauer Green, CG
Through lecture,
discussions, and many hands-on activities, students will learn how to
achieve genealogical proof by planning and executing focused research,
citing the resulting sources, testing the evidence they contain,
assembling that evidence into a conclusion, and explaining it clearly.
This course is based on the content of Mastering Genealogical Proof

exercises from that textbook. Family historians of various skill levels
may find this course helpful.
