This is where I am learning the trade. The woman who runs the site is an instructor. She has a doctorate, but not certain it in genealogy. If you want more info on the group just let me know.
I would be very happy to help you with this project. I love, love, love genealogy! Now that Maggie is married I returned to my passion!

Lizzy
PS: Congratulations, married lady!
Lizzy I remember reading that you were a genealogist but I couldn't remember if you were still a student or if you had gotten your certificate yet. I was hoping you would see this thread and jump in.

I think stuff like this is so fascinating. I defenitly want to find out more. I would love more info on the group. Would you mind PMing it to me? Thank you so much Lizzy.

Rachel that would be so cool for your mom. She should def try to get the certification since she is so into it.

What I did was go to yahoogroups.com, then I chose the group I wanted to join. The group is sensational! Diana Muir is the administrator and the instructor. If you choose to take the classes she will let you know how to access the lessons. Some people take the lessons but never turn in their assignments or take the exam. I am planning on going all the way, My goal is to specialize in Irish and Minnesota genealogy.

Oh, I forgot the best part.........the course is freeeeee!

Let me know if I can help you Glenda. And if anyone else has any questions, I may be able to answer them.

Are you serious? I may have to check this site out. I love doing geneology. A couple of my Mom's cousins have gone back several generations on my Grandpa's side, we are from Norwegian royalty. Searching online I have found other geneology trees that match up with some of ours, and I have got back as far as abt 590 ac. I have done a bit of work on my Grandma's side too, but haven't gotten as far.

Glenda - you will have to let us know how the DNA thing goes. That is so awesome.

I've always been interested in geneology, but now that I'm bored at work today, I'm totally into it!! I have so many windows open with all the links provided! I'm thinking of taking this on as a pet project to keep me occupied and I can give it as a gift to my parents (Dad) sometime b/c he's also into this stuff too.
