Register for Webinar Tuesday - Educational Preparation for Certification: Many Paths to the Same Goal by Angela Packer McGhie, CG


Developing the skills necessary to produce work that meets the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) takes time and effort. This presentation will highlight some of the educational options that are helpful in learning about each element of the GPS including thorough research, citations, evidence analysis, written conclusions; as well as each element of the application portfolio. The goal is to both understand and be able to meet genealogy standards. There are many educational paths to choose from, and both formal and independent study options will be discussed.
This webinar is hosted and sponsored by the Board for Certification of Genealogists.
