I don't know how anyone can complete all this in one lifetime, but it is an exciting prospect to consider starting! I will copy this URL and also your list within this post.

The only other place I have seen it published is along with an article I wrote for the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly (APGQ) in June of 2009. Elizabeth Shown Mills gave me permission to include it as a sidebar with my article, and also to post it here on my blog. I also think that it contains excellent recommendations and that is why I choose to share it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02938919970422576854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071983773859618881.post-28648976877133137562012-09-24T22:22:45.976-04:002012-09-24T22:22:45.976-04:00Angela, I've referred back to this post time a...Angela, I've referred back to this post time and time again. I find it so valuable. I'm very surprised that, or I wouldn't be surprised if, the BCG presented this "blue print" as a webinar or even as a session at conferences. Time and time again I see the question asked, "what are the educational options, what should I do first?". Here it is, step by step. Have you seen this blue print any place else, besides the TGF?

Both of you deserve gold stars for generosity in your sharing. As I'm retired (no assets/no pension etc.), everything I do in genealogy has to be as free as it can be, so I'm truly grateful for this brilliant list.

The scholarships benefitted so few people, only four or so each year. Instead the Ed Fund now offers preconference workshops open to 60 people each year. They occur prior to the national NGS conferences, although cross-registration is not required. They are an inexpensive (one day only, lunch included) way for people to get the feel of attending a genealogical institute.Barbara Jean Mathewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909329971189134434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071983773859618881.post-18311902757854101342012-06-08T22:38:09.023-04:002012-06-08T22:38:09.023-04:00Thanks so much for posting this, Angela, and thank...Thanks so much for posting this, Angela, and thanks to Elizabeth for preparing it.

I am still mostly lurking, but am so impressed with all the advice that is given by all. I realize that I need to work on my skills and appreciate this guide Ms Mills has provided to help me organize my study. Too bad my birthday was last month as my birthday wish list will now include the books suggested for study!
