Hello all! Seems pretty quiet here but I hope to meet more fellow students. I started my Genealogy Certificate Program in January and have completed 7 out of the 9 Basic courses. I start Vital Records Part 1 and Analysis and Mentoring Part 1 in March, though I have already been working ahead using the printed materials. I see that the Analysis course in unique from the others and a little more challenging. I hope to do as well on itt as the others but think I may take more time with it.
I am a teacher. I have a BA with a double major in Archaeology and Anthropology and I have a BEd. (Bachelor of Education). I have taken some Criminology courses online but never pursued that further. I have been a hobbyist genealogist for many, many years but was so excited to find NIGS and actually pursue it academically!
My Canadian research interests are in Quebec, and Ontario primarily but do also extend into Alberta and Saskatchewan.
I am eager to meet others and make contacts! I am currently in Saskatchewan.

Well it took me 4 courses in to stumble into this group! I'm a library technician in an academic library in Manitoba. I have a B.A. and a 2 year diploma in library science.

Hello! I am new to GenealogyWise, having been introduced to it through the "Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist" course. As usual, I left one or two questions until the very last day I am eligible to submit them (the one about GenealogyWise included.)
I am an MLIS graduate from St. Thomas, Ontario Canada and have been working on the Canadian Certificate for a few years now. My main geographic area of interest in Canada is Montreal and the south shore. I am looking forward to exploring the GenealogyWise site and all it has to offer.

There I a lot of information regarding Canadian Records on the Internet. It will also depend on the dates you are trying to research and the province(s).

For Ontario this is the best book to use, can be purchased through globalgenealogy:
BOOK - Genealogy in Ontario, Searching the Records, 30th Anniversary Edition

I am currently working through the Canadian Basic Level courses and thoroughly enjoying them. At the moment I have been taking the Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist course. I have learned a lot but it is also a little overwhelming.

Could have sworn I'd posted here before! I'm working through a double certification in Canadian and English Records at the moment. Enjoying it immensely! Finishing up the Social Media for the Wise Genealogist elective presently. Looking forward to chatting!

Presently working through the Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist course and thoroughly enjoying it. I had to put my NIGS courses on hold a few years back because of extra work hours. I'm starting to see some light in that area and hope to resume my courses in the future. I am thankful for NIGS's flexibility.

It has been 10 years since I did Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3, I left these to almost the end of my course list so much of the lesson fell into place. I was already familiar with the APG. I had completed 27 course before I did Part 1, they are more challenging but if you know your stuff you should make it. It takes a little more time then some of the other courses. Ask you fellow students how they are coping.
