BCG OFFERS FREE WEBINAR Tuesday,
May 19
“The Family Tapestry: Integrating
Proof Arguments into the Genealogical Narrative”
When we tell a story, sometimes we need to stop and
explain. Just how did we figure out who the main character's mother was –
without any census, vital records, or probate records? This problem confronts
every genealogist who prepares a portfolio for certification as well.
The Board for Certification of Genealogists will present
a webinar on this subject free to the public at 8pm EDT 19 May 2015. Jeanne
Larzalere Bloom, CG (sm), will use the language of weaving and the work of
distinguished philosopher Stephen Toulmin to deal with this perennial issue in
writing up genealogical research.
Seating
is limited for this webinar. Please register early and sign in early to avoid disappointment.
The board is an independent certifying body and author
of the updated 2014 Genealogy Standards.
Jeanne Larzalere Bloom, CG, is president of the BCG
board of trustees and a full-time professional researcher specializing in
Chicago and Cook County research, forensic genealogy, problem solving, and
multi-generational family histories. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from
the University of Illinois at Chicago and a second-year certificate from the
University of Chicago's publishing program. Her interest in genealogy began
much earlier. Rather than having her grandmother read her a story before naptime,
Jeanne would ask to hear a story about when she was a little girl.
“We are pleased to offer this informative webinar,”
said BCG treasurer Michael Ramage, CG. “The Board for Certification of Genealogists strives
to foster public confidence in genealogy by promoting an attainable, uniform
standard of competence and ethics. Educating all family historians is part of
this mission.”
There is
no charge, but space is limited. Please
register for Jeanne Larzalere Bloom, CG, “The Family Tapestry: Integrating Proof Arguments into
the Genealogical Narrative,” on 19 May 2015, 8:00 PM EDT (7 CDT, 6 MDT, 5 PDT)
