The Board for Certification of Genealogists has a real treat for those who are pursuing certification. A Certification Seminar Video has been put online at their website free for you to watch from the comfort of your home. The stars of the show are Dr. Thomas W. Jones, CG, CGL, FASG and Elissa Scalise Powell, CG.
Recorded before a live audience in Salt Lake City in November 2008, the video seminar follows the same format as the certification seminars BCG presents at the annual conferences of the National Genealogical Society and the Federation of Genealogical Societies.
The 2 hour seminar covers all the essentials about BCG certification.

Bravo to BCG for this extremely important and innovative way to assist genealogists who are working towards certification. Talk about public outreach!!!
