Students who select this course already have some experience in genealogy, either self-taught or from a beginner’s course. They’re looking to enhance their research skills from home around their busy schedule but still receive an in-depth, institute-intense course, and build on their existing knowledge and experience. The course will expand their ability to find and analyze intermediate record types such as local and federal land, military, immigration, and naturalization, and find the underlying laws. They’ll also learn how to conduct research using best practices and following genealogical standards.
Homework will allow students to practice new skills and to work in original records. Understanding will be enhanced by a homework review session in the week that follows, instructor presence in a closed Facebook group the week following their class session, and a homework key.

Course 2: Introduction to Genetic Genealogy
Paul Woodbury, MEd, AG
In this hands-on course, students will master the basics of genetic genealogy research through hands-on application in a variety of investigative contexts. They will create testing plans incorporating such elements as which individuals to test, the types of tests to take and the companies to be used. They will also evaluate chances of success and needs for additional testing for a research objective given a set of test results, develop research plans given a set of DNA test results, and learn to abide by genetic genealogy ethics and standards. Participants will practice basic interpretation of Y-DNA, mitochondrial DNA, X-DNA and autosomal DNA evidence within the context of traditional document research and evaluation of Y-DNA and mtDNA.
Students will identify and evaluate likely relationships based on shared autosomal DNA and tree data, as well as explore possible sources of shared DNA for X-DNA matches. They will also interpret ethnicity reports for Y-DNA, mitochondrial DNA, and autosomal DNA test results and formulate estimates regarding ethnic origins of the first few generations of ancestry. Additional skills participants will gain will include performing modern research, creating “quick and dirty” trees in the pursuit of an objective, collaborating and corresponding with genetic cousins, correctly citing genetic genealogy sources, organizing research to enable discovery, evaluating which approaches and methodologies would be best to utilize in a given research case, and incorporating DNA evidence into genealogical proof arguments.
Students will receive written feedback on weeky homework assignments, in-class lab assistance, and a 15-minute DNA consultation to review a DNA goal, related results, and outline a research plan. (Consultations will be conducted outside of regular classroom hours by appointment.)

Bringing It All Together—Genetic Genealogy Escape Room
This course provides an opportunity for genealogists to gain hands-on experience solving two genealogical cases. This will help participants put their research skills into practice while providing structure and guidance. Students will analyze background information, create a research plan, conduct research online, track their findings, analyze and correlate information, and report on conclusions.
The cases in this course address two of the most common research challenges: 1) dealing with multiple people with the same name, and 2) resolving conflicting evidence. The instructors will walk students through the process and teach the research strategies necessary to solve the cases. This experience will help prepare participants to take the Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum course or apply the skills to new research projects.
Students will work during the week on the case and then gather to discuss their progress with fellow classmates and the instructor. They will compare sources, strategies, and methodologies, discuss challenges, and receive guidance from the instructor. Students should plan 10–20 hours per week to work on the cases and record their findings.

Course 4: Proving Your Pedigree with DNA
Karen Stanbary, MA, LCSW, CG
This hands-on course provides the opportunity for students to apply DNA analysis skills to the documentation of one ancestral line back to a second great-grandparent couple. The faculty offers practical step-by-step case examples. The schedule includes ample opportunity for the students to practice and apply the skills to their own research. Private, one-on-one consultation time with faculty is available.
At course completion, students will leave with:
A source-cited lineage, including proof of biological parentage that meets Genealogy Standards
A graphic descendant tree
A unique, student-generated “Golden Nuggets” Quicksheet
The course teaches integration of documentary and genetic evidence to achieve proof. It is best to learn the methodology on an easier case. Students select one ancestral line in advance. A good choice would be a well-documented line from a DNA test taker to a second great-grandparent couple that is free of unknown parentage and pedigree collapse. Optimally, the student will use test results from second and third cousins on each of the great-grandparents lines to filter and sort autosomal DNA match lists. The cousins can be serendipitous matches or those that result from targeted testing.

Course 6: Assemblage: Preparing, Writing, and Revising Proof Arguments
Jan Joyce, DBA, CG, CGL, AG
You’re a good writer and a great researcher. You have been told that by mentors, instructors, peers, and probably your family! But then why does it seem like sometimes your written product doesn’t work? Perhaps it is a case study, a client report, or a family narrative. It may have been during a course, peer study group or institute setting that you struggled with putting it all together. If this sounds like you, then this course could be what you seek.
Simply stated, it is titled assemblage. It is the writing, splicing, dicing, editing, and piecing together of your proof arguments—and other writing—for your research. Students may want to take this course for a variety of reasons, which may include:
Prepare for certification through BCG or accreditation through ICAPGen.
Fine-tune articles for submissions to journals.
Enhance client report writing.
Craft work for sharing with family.
Write proof of kinships and attach to online family trees.

Cut it. Shuffle it. Paste it: A Tangible Technique for Structuring Your Proof Argument
A non-digital workspace aids our ability to think through, present, and polish a proof argument or narrative. By default, our brains form cognitive maps of incoming information. These maps are often better streamlined and perfected when we deconstruct and then interact with research data in a hands-on and spatial manner. In this session, we will build and organize an argument or narrative using a technique that is based on how we form those mental maps. Using simple items like a pencil, index, cards, and sticky notes, you will learn how to effectively construct your proof argument, report, or biography. You will also see how to effortlessly shuffle and reconfigure your organizational structure to best communicate your point. And, you will be able to eliminate unnecessary fluff that confuses or distracts the reader. This technique goes beyond just outlining broad ideas and concepts. We will practice how to craft a detailed sketch that easily transfers into a word-processing document. And, this helps overcome the infamous writer’s block of staring at a blank screen. By utilizing your brains’ natural tendency towards cognitive mapping, you will create a final written product that works to successfully communicate your work.

Course 7: Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum
Angela Packer McGhie, CG, FUGA
This course provides an opportunity for advanced genealogists to gain hands-on experience solving tough cases. They challenge themselves as they put their research skills into practice. Participants work on five complex genealogical research problems — a new one each week. The objective is to give students experience in conducting research on complex problems, analyzing and correlating information, and writing conclusions.
Participants will practice using indirect evidence, broadening research to include the FAN club, resolving conflicts, and organizing evidence into a written summary. The research problems are varied, offering students the challenge of stretching their minds and skills in directions that their research may not have taken them. Participants will work individually on each of the cases and then gather to discuss their progress with classmates and the instructor. They will compare sources, strategies, and methodologies, discuss difficulties encountered, and receive guidance from the case study author.
This course is designed for advanced genealogists who have sufficient experience and education to work on complex genealogical problems. Most students plan 15-20 hours per week to work on the cases and write up a summary of their findings.
