Hi,I am currently a student on the Social Media for the Wise Genealogist Course.

 I met some members last year in London at WDYTYA and enrolled on courses with the institute since then. I have a blog at http//scotlandsgenealogy.blogspot.com

Looking forward to taking more courses with the institute.

Being in Australia, the chance of going to my graduation was a non starter, but I was thrilled when I met Louise late last year at a Roadshow here, and she presented me with my Graduation teddy!

That was brilliant, as I was so upset that I could not make it to Canada for my graduation.

The Institute 1^st graduation was held during the OGS Conference at Toronto in 2003.  I am not sure about other years since they do not show details on the website. If held around Toronto there are always lots of hotel accommodations. I think you can see from the 2004 photos on the Institute site it was semi formal. You would have to contact the Institute to ask about any upcoming or future graduations.

Hi fellow classmates,

I am taking the Canadian Course and have just begun the advanced classes.  I started two years ago and should be completed in the next year or so.

Most of my ancestors were in Saskatchewan and previously from Austria (Bukowina, Galacia, and Russia).  Currently I'm researching my ROGOZA family and would be interested in communicating with anyone will Rogoza ancestors from the Wroxton, Saskatchewan or Foam Lake, Saskatchewan area.

Have any of you attended the graduation.  I'm interested in going when the time comes and want a few details -- where is it held?  how many people attend?  is it a formal affair?  Is there a hotel close by you'd recommend?  Any comments would help.

This is my first class with the National Institute, Social Networking. As senior citizen I know very little about social networking and decided this would be a good way to learn about it and how it can help with my genealogical research.

Hi, I am taking the Social Networking class right now and it is my first class with the institute. I enjoy the program very much and what they offer. I am planning to take more of their classes

Just a quick introduction: I've just completed the Methodologies 1 course and passed the exam. The online learning model that Genealogical Studies uses seems to work for me so now I've booked myself in to two more courses and I hope to complete my certification sometime in the next several years.

I enjoy genealogy and gathering the stories of my families. Social Networking is the ninth Institute course I have taken. I find that I have learned a lot from each course and am certainly more systematic and organized in what I do.

I joined this group when it first appeared because I intended to take classes.  I am now in the Social Networking Class and am introducing myself as part of the class assignment for Module 5.  I hope that this group will remain active because most of the ones I joined have basically become dormant.
