BCG Skill Building Track-Lectures 2022
February 25th, 2022 by Roger Prince
A Full BCG Skillbuilding Track
The Board for Certification of Genealogists is excited to present the 2022 BCG Skillbuilding track. This series of 16 lectures plus a double-length certification seminar is designed for genealogists interested in improving their research techniques.
Targeted to intermediate and advanced skill levels, but open to all registered conference attendees, many of the sessions focus on evidence analysis and correlation to solve complex problems.
The presenters cover a variety of methodologies, record groups, and topics. Many of the presentations are case studies demonstrating the featured techniques on a real genealogy problem. Lectures are co-sponsored by NGS and the Board for Certification of Genealogists.
