It's great that you're taking the Professional courses now! They were just rolling them out as I was nearing the end of my certificate program. I'm sure they're very helpful. :)

I have an interest in forensic genealogy, especially probate and dual citizenship, although I learned about a few other areas that interest me, too, after attending Catherine Desmarais' Forensics course at GRIP this past summer. I'm planning to go back this year for Part II - can't wait!

Since I live in NH, I also have been thinking about French-Canadian and Colonial/Mayflower research -- although it seems like there are a lot of folks already covering that ground. We'll see!

Yes, I'd been looking at the background of some BCGs and saw ProGen. That's included on my pre-business plan as continued training. Have you settled on a a niche? I've some ideas but haven't picked a starter.

How exciting - the end is near! Finishing a certificate is a great accomplishment! I agree - there's much more to being a professional genealogist than I would have thought, too. I'm still working on getting my business started, actually - lol. I did ProGen this past year, and that was really helpful. If you're interested in becoming a professional, I would recommend it, especially if you're thinking of BCG certification.

I have one more compulsory to complete my Am Rec cert. Have half the Professional courses finished. Hope to start a business but I'm thinking it might be better to hold off to take a year to solidify my skills. There’s so much involved in becoming a serious genealogist. I'd no idea when I started down this path. Talk about jumping into the deep end of the pool! I'm interested in Canadian too. I plan to take those courses bit by bit to keep learning.

Hi Gaynol and Ginger! I'm in New Hampshire. I, too, would like to see this board be more active. I finished my American certificate a few years ago, but I'd like to do another one soon - maybe Canadian. :)

Hi Ginger, not from WI but it's nice to see someone else here  :-) .

Hi All, I have been working on my studies at Genealogical Studies for awhile now, almost done, just finishing up some electives. 

Anyone from Wisconsin? Appleton area. I know this is not an active group, but just checking.

Hi Donna and Steve. Glad to hear you are looking for participation. I joined, looking to be in a group that wasn't on Facebook. It's not as active as I'd like it to be. Maybe we can shake the tree a bit and find others who want to discuss.

Hello, I'm Donna Baker from Ventura, California.  I am currently taking Social Media for the Wise Genealogist along with U.S. Religious Records - 1 and Google for the Wise Genealogist. I plan to start a Genealogy Road Trip business (next year). I'm looking forward to interacting with this group.
