I recall from the ICAPGEN conference that there was some discussion about making the "Test" part of the accreditation process more accessible - perhaps even offering it on line.  I think the main…Continue

Yes, the first ancestor on the pedigree chart should be born before 1900.

Am I correct in assuming that the first ancestor on the pedigree chart for Mexico should still have been born before 1900?

I have the completed experience tables for the following areas: US/Canada, Mexico, England, France & Austria. Other experience tables are in progress. If you need an experience table now, you may use any international table and replace the name of your country for the one being used. The required format is stated in the response below.

Great question! The requirement for the Mexico AG or any International AG differ from the US in the application. The US/Canada Application requires 1 federal/national experience table and 1 table for each state in the region you are applying(see current regions at: icapgen.org). The international applications require: 1 US federal table, 1 US state table in addition to 1 federal/national table for the country you have chosen and 5 state/county/province tables in the country you have chosen. The reason for the US tables is to ensure that the applicant can trace an immigrant in the US to his homeland.

I would like to know if the requirements for the Mexico AG differ from that of the US and if so in what ways?

Gracias

Since I am switching locations for the fast track class in March, could you please tell me when the class in Salt Lake meets? Thanks!!

I know you said you would keep us updated but I am wondering how far out the Danish Experience Table is?

We have had several people ask us for our recommendations of good reference books for their areas, both methodology books and source books. As you find good books for your areas, will you post them on this website? Maybe some of you could create discussion forums named for your areas of accreditation, and share information with each other.

Thank you Kelly for your quick response, I do appreciate it.very much. I do admit this is a little over whelming for me, but I'm looking forward to the journey.
