The BCG website should become your good friend if you plan to apply for certification. The application fee is $220 and there is a $45 annual maintenance fee. I, too, recommend that you subscribe to the APG mailing list and the Transitional Genealogists Forum list. Even if you decide not to seek certification, you can learn a lot by reading the posted messages on the mailing lists. One other thing that should be helpful. Buy a copy of the Standards Manual (available from the BCG website). Very helpful. Good luck.Brenda Joyce Jeromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878338519744358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253882682634493807.post-20451799110517044562009-02-18T07:43:00.000-05:002009-02-18T07:43:00.000-05:00Jessica,That is a good question to post on the lis...Jessica,<BR/><BR/>That is a good question to post on the list maintained by the Association of Professional Genealogists, APG-L@rootsweb.com. You don't have to be an APG member to subscribe (but we'd really like it if you did join :-). Many certified genealogists are on the list and help with questions like this. In fact, the list has archived threads on this very topic. Rootsweb also has the Transitional-Genealogists-Forum list for those aspiring to certification or accreditation.BDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798944688122545676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253882682634493807.post-17496326428666271632009-02-18T01:46:00.000-05:002009-02-18T01:46:00.000-05:00Hi Jessica,Here's an article that might help:http:...Hi Jessica,<BR/><BR/>Here's an article that might help:<BR/>http://www.genealogy.com/20_hnkly.html<BR/><BR/>CathyPalmsRVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898416117045268799noreply@blogger.com
