Hello,
I, too, am taking the Social Media course from NIGS. I am a genealogy librarian but in this ever-changing world there is always more to learn. To be honest, I have only been at this for about three years, so it is still somewhat new to me. In the past I did research my own family tree. Happily the Stauffer and Pfaltzgraff lines were pretty much completed (as far as anyone can go) by cousins. Let's hear it for cousins!

I am preparing to take several of the Institute Business Skills courses, beginning with "Creating a Genealogy Business" in January 2016. Is anyone interested in discussing the coursework or related concerns with me, either as a study partner or in a group?

Hi, My name is Linda and I am also taking the Social Media course. I got it free after attending a conference in Providence. I have finished the Basic Level courses and have really enjoyed them and learned a great deal. I am the president of the local historical society here in Preston, CT, and I do a good deal of research using colonial records.

Hello, My name is Paula, and I am taking the Social Media course. I've also taken the Google course, and have enjoyed them both. I have been researching my families for about 10 years, and am considering whether to begin the path to certification. I am the registrar for a local DAR chapter, so am getting a chance to use my newly acquired research skills almost daily.
