Fantastic Find: Board for Certification of Genealogists webinars

Now that I'm set to receive my "Boston University, Center for Professional Education: Genealogical Research Certificate" (in other words, a certificate-holder in Boston University's Genealogical Research program", I can now start working on being certified by the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG).

The BU course was a semester.  It seems being certified by BCG takes quite a bit longer, years rather than months, but fortunately their website offers a lot of help.

I just discovered that they have a variety of webinars, both free and very low cost ($2.99, a pittance for what you get).

Boston University Center for Professional Education, Genealogical Research Program - Intense! And Worth It

As I noted in my January post about this online course, it is a lot of work but totally worth it.  Anyone wanting to improve their skills in genealogy should take it.  I will be in the assignment trenches for the rest of the weekend getting everything finished for the end of this module.  My world should be back to normal by Tuesday night.

End of Week 2 of the Boston University Certification Course

The Genealogical Research Certificate Program at BU has made me realize what an amateur I am at genealogy. I have so many bad habits! I am self-taught and learned by just jumping in and figuring out as I go.  Finally I am getting a more thorough foundation.  This class is a LOT of work, but it's definitely worth it.
