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.
Bio:
Jill Morelli, CG, CGL is a writer, lecturer and co-founder of the online Applied Genealogy Institute, providing practicum-based educational opportunities for intermediate and advanced genealogists. In 2017, she founded the Certification Discussion Group, an online series discussing her certification journey in order to demystify the process for others. She specializes in Scandinavian research and Midwest America She lectures nationally and has written articles for National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Swedish American Genealogist, NCGS Journal and many others. Jill is past president of the Seattle Genealogical Society, co-chair of SGS Centennial 2023, program director for the Puget Sound-APG chapter, and a member of many local and national genealogical societies.
