Mastering Genealogical Proof – Beginning Principles Class
This is a beginner/low-intermediate level class to study the book Mastering Genealogical Proof by Tom Jones. We will cover the principles outlined in the book as well as discuss the workbook questions.
Details of the course (PLEASE READ):
- There will be two sessions: Wednesday daytime (lead by Cyndi Ingle of Cyndi’s List), at 3pm Eastern, and Wednesday evenings (lead by Cari Taplin) at 8pm Eastern (so adjust for your time zone). Beginning October 21, 2020 and ending December 2, 2020 (so 7 weeks total). Each class will be about an hour.
- We will meet on Zoom.
- Cost for the course: $50
- You will need to have the book, Mastering Genealogical Proof. It can be purchased on Amazon or through the National Genealogical Society if you don’t already have it.
- There are questions in the book that we will use to guide discussion. Reading the chapter and answering the discussion questions will prepare you for each week’s class.
- For first half (or so) of each class session, I will present/recap the principles for that week (I’ll have slides).
- The second half will be going over the discussion questions.
- There will also be a private Facebook group for this class only so you can ask questions and discuss issues in-between class sessions.
- Class size is limited to 25.

Genealogy Pants 
Thank you for including me in the above study group. I am concerned that it may not be a fit for me. I am not a beginner. I have been doing genealogy for 20 years and professionally for 2 years. I am currently working on my portfolio for certification and was looking for direction on how to write a case study.

You have to sign up to be “included.” So don’t worry about that. This was just a notice that it was happening to all of my readers. And you are right. As stated, this is a beginning/low-intermediate level study group of a book, not a class on how to write a case study. For something like that, I would recommend taking Tom Jone’s writing class that is often offered at the Institute for Genealogical and Historical Research (IGHR) (through the Georgia Genealogical Society).
