🔵 IN CASE YOU SLEPT…
The 2024 Legacy Family Tree FREE genealogy 24 hour webinar marathon was this past week, but if you missed it, you can still catch the replays at least for 7 days after the marathon, or ANYTIME if you’re a LFTW member (one membership worth every penny, in my opinion!). The webinars that I caught were excellent, and I’m glad I can go back and watch the ones that I slept through. https://familytreewebinars.com/24-marathon/
🔵 BCG AWARDS FIRST CERTIFIED GENETIC GENEALOGIST CREDENTIAL
The Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) launched the new Certified Genetic Genealogist credential March 1 of this year, and has awarded it for the first time to Thomas W. Jones, PhD, CG, CGG, FASG, FNGS, FUGA who successfully met the requirements. In order to apply for the CGG credential, one must first have the Certified Genealogist (CG) credential. More information can be found here: https://bcgcertification.org/bcg-first-cgg-apr-2024/

This coming Wednesday attend the free webinar preview of the National Genealogical Society’s 2024 Virtual Family History Conference, Expanding Possibilities, on Wednesday, 17 April, at 8:00 p.m. ET. (via Zoom). Along with highlights of this year’s conference program and many special events, everyone is invited to participate in a lively Q&A. Register in advance here.
🔵 NEW CENTER FOR FAMILY HISTORY AT IAAM
The International African American Museum (IAAM) ‘s Center for Family History (CFH) recently launched its new Genealogy Research Area and Reference Library, giving visitors access to millions of online genealogical records, including over 1,300 books, and offers them the benefit of real-time expertise from onsite CFH genealogy experts. A program “Getting Started with Genealogy” is offered every Tuesday through Friday, at 11 am and 2 pm at the IAAM. Several digital resources are available as well, here. https://iaamuseum.org/center-for-family-history/
🔵 FAMILYSEARCH LIBRARY FILM ACCESS NEWS
Upcoming remodeling at the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City will bring about a few changes in microfilm access:
- Physical films not available online that are currently in the Library will continue to be available in the Library
- Limited access films can be viewed digitally at FamilySearch.org while visiting the FamilySearch Library
- The Library Catalog will receive timely updates as films are moved to another floor, but the FamilySearch Catalog is still currently frozen and will not reflect any recent changes regarding the location of the films for the foreseeable future
Full details can be found here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/library/microfilm-fiche-and-cds
🔵PUT IT ON YOUR WISH LIST
While most genealogists have a copy of Evidence Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills sitting close at hand, the new 4th Edition is definitely an update to consider. From the Genealogical.com website: “In the six years since the last edition was published, changes at major repositories and online information providers–as well as the ever-evolving electronic world–have generated new citation and analysis challenges for researchers. As a consequence, Mrs. Mills has once again updated her citation models and added descriptions and evaluations of numerous contemporary materials not included in the Third Edition Revised. Evidence Explained’s new fourth edition significantly reexamines historical resources and simplifies long-standing practices.” Genealogical.com has created a digital edition of Evidence Explained, 4th Edition, making it incredibly easy to search and find the citation style you’re looking for, but also priced much less than the printed edition. Check it out here: https://genealogical.com/store/evidence-explained-4th-edition/ (as always, this is NOT an affiliate link – just good information).
🔵 GRIP SPOTLIGHT ON MISSING RECORDS
In this GRIP course, experts talk about a subject important to all genealogists? Kelvin Meyers’ course Records Loss: Overcoming Destroyed, Missing, or Non-Extant Records at GRIP in July addresses record loss and how we can research in spite of it. Learn from these experts about researching when it may seem impossible: Deborah A. Abbott, PhD; Sunny J. Morton; Kimberly T. Powell; Judy G. Russell, JD, CG, CGL; Richard G. Sayre, CG, CGL, FUGA; Renata Yarborough Sanders; Kristi L. Sexton, MS; and Michael L. Strauss, AG.
