Hi, I am also taking the Social Media course from NIGS like many others who have posted, thanks to the "Great Canadian Genealogy Summit" of 2016. This is my first course! I'm a professional genealogist based in New York City, thus a lot of my work involves New York City or the immediate area. My mother's mother was from Erinsville, Ontario and my father's father was from Cape Breton, so naturally I have a lot of interest in Canadian genealogy on a personal level, and wish that I was asked to do more Canadian research for clients too!

Hello,  I am taking the Social Media course which I won when I attended the last Alberta Genealogical Society conference.  I am midway through the Methodology Certificate training with the NIGS.  Although I live in Canada the majority of my research is in US record as many of my ancestors on my maternal and paternal lines lived in the United States.

I am currently searching through New York, Michigan, and Kansas, and have a keen interest in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, and Virginia, to name the states I find myself researching the most.

Hello,

I, too, am taking the Social Media course from NIGS.  I am a genealogy librarian but in this ever-changing world there is always more to learn.  To be honest, I have only been at this for about three years, so it is still somewhat new to me.  In the past I did research my own family tree.  Happily the Stauffer and Pfaltzgraff lines were pretty much completed (as far as anyone can go) by cousins.  Let's hear it for cousins!

Hello! I am taking the Social Media course. I have also taken the Google course and most of the Basic Level courses for the American Studies program. There is always more to learn!

Gary,

The National Institute also has a Professional Development Virtual Meeting that you might be interested. We discuss those courses in that meeting. The schedule can be found at

I am preparing to take several of the Institute Business Skills courses, beginning with "Creating a Genealogy Business" in January 2016. Is anyone interested in discussing the coursework or related concerns with me, either as a study partner or in a group?

Hi,  My name is Linda and I am also taking the Social Media course.  I got it free after attending a conference in Providence.   I have finished the Basic Level courses and have really enjoyed them and learned a great deal.   I am the president of the local historical society here in Preston, CT, and I do a good deal of research using colonial records.

Hello, My name is Paula, and I am taking the Social Media course.  I've also taken the Google course, and have enjoyed them both.  I have been researching my families for about 10 years, and am considering whether to begin the path to certification. I am the registrar for a local DAR chapter, so am getting a chance to use my newly acquired research skills almost daily.

Hello! My name is Mary and I'm working on the NIGS American Records Certificate and have about 10 elective courses left to complete. I've learned a lot while completing this course and hope to be able to complete the English Records Certificate and the Methodology Certificate as well. I'm from the Seattle area, volunteer on the board of the Jewish Genealogical Society of WA State, lecture in the area, have 3 children and just became a grandmother! I'm currently enrolled in the ProGen program and working toward becoming a professional genealogist when I grow up. :)

Hi, my name is Patricia and I have been working on my families for many years. I'm interested in the American Certificate as a way to improve my skills as I search for answers.
