I am finishing the Social Media Coure and have found it very helpful. I received my American Studies certificate in 2008. I am planning on taking some more German courses soon. I only need 2 to complete the Basic certificate.

Susan Michael, CG, PLCGS replied to Mark Tucker's discussion 'Why did you join NGS?' in the group National Genealogical Society
I joined NGS in 2005 for 2 reasons: 1). I was attending my first national conference (Nashville) and joining meant that I got a conference discount and 2). my instructors at NIGS encouraged the students to join NGS and APG for the extra educational…

- I grew up as a rootless military brat with no siblings. The death of my last grandparent and my 40th birthday happened within months and that was my final trigger. I wanted to connect to my roots. It did not take me long to discover that, although I was born in California and lived all over, I had returned "home" without realizing it -- the vast majority of my ancestors arrived in Virginia and migrated to North Carolina before continuing west.
