Hello, I am Eileen Souza from Maryland, USA.  I signed up as part of the Social Media course.  I am currently completing my Advanced courses in American Studies.  I have also taken some electives.  I work full tme.  My course work slowed down a bit over the last eighteen months because I was participating in the ProGen Study Group.  I am now a Progen 4 graduate and back to hitting the books at NIGS..

Hello. I am Virginia Smith from San Diego, CA. I am taking the Social Media course at NISG. I have been/still am very reluctant to participate in these public forums. I have learned a lot during the course about what is available and I am hoping to participate in some of the Genealogy specific sites.

Paul couldn't have said it better.  This is great news, Louise.

National Institute of Genealogical Studies (NIGS) & Ontario Genealogical Society (OGS) partnership.

Way to go Louise. Partnerships will help market NIGS and are essential for expansion. Just remember partnerships will come and go but stay focused on what lies ahead (based on my work experience and partnerships we had at CSA). There may be some critics but you are riding the wave of the future for NIGS.

Hi, I'm Theresa Hubbell and I currently live in Albany, Minnesota. I am working on the Social Media Class but have taken many other classes for American and German Records. I have always been interested in this site and now have the opportunity to jump in and try it. This course has enlightened me in many types of social media that I had not been aware before now.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the web site?  I'm trying to complete an assignment and keep getting an internet error.

Hi, I'm Gwen Page and I am from Cottonwood Heights, Utah.  I'm taking the Social Media class via NIGS.  I am a public librarian and took a course a few years ago called Library 2.0 in which we covered a lot of the social media available at the time.  This course has exposed me to a few options not covered in the other course I took.  It has helped me understand better ways to work with others on the same family lines.

I'm currently taking the Social Media class which is the first I've taken through NIGS.  I have been aware of but not used several of the various social media avenues.  The course has given me a better understanding of the different ways to connect with others and a comfort level of how to use these media.

Hello, I'm Nancy Ellis and I live in Tucson, AZ.  I've been taking courses through NIGS for years; I have a PLCGS in American Records in 2005 and have been working on English, Irish, German and Canadian since then.  I'm taking the Social Media class now because I really don't use it that much and I definitely should!  I have been doing genealogy research since 2001 and have been taking on work from others in the last several years.
