General Methodology

This group is for students taking General Methodology courses or working on any Certificate program from the International Institute of Genealogical Studies.

  • Cohen Hill Swiney

    I will be starting the Methodology Part 1 course in October as well as the Social Media course.  I can't wait for my printed materials and books to arrive.
  • Brenda Wheeler, PLCGS

    Hang in there, not much longer! Methodology is a great chance to get back to the basics and make sure you have covered everything in your research, leading on to a more professional look in your work. Remember that you do not have to wait for the courses to start, you can join in on any of the Live Meetings, whether you are on the course or not. Good Luck!
  • Cohen Hill Swiney

    Thanks so much for the encouragement.  I really appreciate it.

  • Gaynol Fales PLCGS

    Melissa, thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded the webinar schedule because I see there are a couple more I'm interested in. So glad to see Lauritzen in there. I've really grown to look forward to her presentations. She's bubbly, fun and she almost always has some advice or example that I can adapt to some other area of research.

  • Angela Harris

    Great suggestion, thanks, Melissa!

  • Melissa Michele Edwards

    You are welcome Gaynol and Angela! They have several upcoming topics of interest. I still can't wrap my head around the calendar stuff, so I am hoping it will help!
