I was excited to read on the Board for Certification of
Genealogists blog that they are starting a new webinar series! These webinars are open to anyone who would like to participate, and will be held at
8:00 pm Eastern on the following dates:
Monday, September 22, Thomas W. Jones, Ph.D., CG, CGL, FASG, will present “Fine
Wine in a New Bottle: Guidelines for Effective Research and Family
Histories.” Updated, retitled, and reorganized, genealogy standards
first published in 2000 are now available in a new edition. The webinar
will describe the changes and what they mean for all family
historians. Dr. Jones teaches at three genealogy institutes, co-edits
the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, and is the author of Mastering Genealogical Proof.
On Wednesday, October 15, Judy G. Russell, J.D., CG, CGL, will explain
“Kinship Determination: From Generation to Generation.” Requirement 7
of the BCG certification application asks for a Kinship Determination
Project in which the applicant writes a three-generation narrative and
explains how the relationships are documented. All genealogists do this
regularly while placing relatives with their appropriate connections in
the family tree. A familiar speaker at conferences across the
country, Judy will coordinate the Advanced Methodology & Evidence
Analysis course at the Institute for Genealogy and Historical Research
in 2015.
To register for either of these webinars, or to watch for future presentations, see to the BCG blog.
Thanks for your posts. Glad I've come across your blog. I appreciate you sharing news of these professional development opportunities.
