Hello! I am new to GenealogyWise, having been introduced to it through the "Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist" course. As usual, I left one or two questions until the very last day I am eligible to submit them (the one about GenealogyWise included.)
I am an MLIS graduate from St. Thomas, Ontario Canada and have been working on the Canadian Certificate for a few years now. My main geographic area of interest in Canada is Montreal and the south shore. I am looking forward to exploring the GenealogyWise site and all it has to offer.
National Institute of Genealogical Studies (NIGS) has a new course on DNA starting Feb, 2nd, DNA: Introduction to Genetic Genealogy. http://www.genealogicalstudies.com/
8 weeks, online, level: basic, fee $89 us., Course Author: Diahan Southard.
There I a lot of information regarding Canadian Records on the Internet. It will also depend on the dates you are trying to research and the province(s).

For Ontario this is the best book to use, can be purchased through globalgenealogy:

Published by Ontario Genealogical Society, Toronto, 2013
I am currently working through the Canadian Basic Level courses and thoroughly enjoying them. At the moment I have been taking the Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist course. I have learned a lot but it is also a little overwhelming.
Could have sworn I'd posted here before! I'm working through a double certification in Canadian and English Records at the moment. Enjoying it immensely! Finishing up the Social Media for the Wise Genealogist elective presently. Looking forward to chatting!
Presently working through the Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist course and thoroughly enjoying it. I had to put my NIGS courses on hold a few years back because of extra work hours. I'm starting to see some light in that area and hope to resume my courses in the future. I am thankful for NIGS's flexibility.
It has been 10 years since I did Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3, I left these to almost the end of my course list so much of the lesson fell into place. I was already familiar with the APG. I had completed 27 course before I did Part 1, they are more challenging but if you know your stuff you should make it. It takes a little more time then some of the other courses. Ask you fellow students how they are coping.
Hi
I am taking the Analysis and Skills mentoring course part 2. Does anyone have any tips about this course, I'm finding it a challenge.
Thanks, Richard. I'll check out the book too.
I can't help much, I completed all my Canadian courses 10 years ago. I took the courses as they became available on the calendar with no specific order. Advance course were a little more challenging so I usually only took one at a time verses 3 at a time in basic. I still take some courses even now but I find it more difficult to find some of interest. I also took some course at Pharos in the UK.
The new book, DNA & Social Networking by Debbie Kennett is worth having. Amazon.ca sells it at a discount. Since the book is new it has up to date links identified.Retail abt. $28, amazon abt. $15
