Title: “Considering Certification? Consider This….”
Brief description:
Thinking about genealogy certification, but it seems too daunting? Or, perhaps you just want to know more about it. We will review the submittal process and what constitutes a portfolio. In addition, we will dispel some of the misconceptions that surround certification, reveal some of the tips that helped me and what I would do differently if I had to do it over again. The certifying body is the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG), which has been administering the credentialing process for 50 years. This is not a BCG sanctioned event, and these are my opinions.
