The Pursuit from Genealogy Hobbyist to Professional - free webinar Wednesday, April 4


Thinking of becoming a professional genealogist? Join John M. Kitzmiller, II, AG and Claire V. Brison-Banks, AG for a webinar this Wednesday, April 4. The Pursuit from Genealogy Hobbyist to Professional will be sponsored by The International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists (ICAPGen).
Webinar's description
Several terms are applied to individuals that are interested in their ancestors. Those who are fascinated by the story but not really interested in the data could be termed amateurs. Moving up a rung on the ladder would be the hobbyists, who gather photos, letters and family memorabilia to share with others. They quite often are members of societies, are familiar with local history, and help others to find their ancestors. This group is quite underestimated, in that many have self-taught expertise and are quite knowledgeable. However, most of them do not charge money for their assistance. The next step is to operate at the “professional” level, which requires perspective, attitude, methods, process, and some business skills. This webinar will discuss various ways to make that transition.
The live webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 2PM Eastern U.S., so register today to reserve your virtual seat. Registration is free but space is limited to the first 1,000 people to join that day. Join at least 15-20 minutes early to ensure your virtual seat.
