One of the many reasons I love coordinating and teaching in a certain course is that we provide a chance for a student’s ongoing genealogy issue to be solved or at least a path provided. I’m beginning work on my mid-April letter to those registered for the upcoming June 22-26 GRIP Genealogy Institute virtual course, “Digging Deeper: Records, Tools, and Skills.” This letter will provide the registered students with extra details about the course and the interactive parts. One section is about the opportunity to participate in an interactive group consultation to provide research ideas and paths to solve problems, brick walls, and even simple issues in this U.S. course. A professional genealogist leads the discussion, and other students add their ideas for the person presenting the research problem. Everyone knows something different and should feel comfortable contributing ideas.
I look forward to what the students send in and make some notes immediately that may help them when their case is discussed. Already registered so you will receive this letter? Great! Not registered yet? Don’t miss this opportunity! More details on the rest of the course sessions, instructors, and registration link:
