Link - Board for Certification of Genealogists ~ "Since its founding in 1964, the Board for Certification
of Genealogists, independent of any society, has stood for the highest standards of competence
and ethics. The Board views genealogical practice as a profession or hobby that requires training
and advanced skills. It defines a client as anyone who receives the benefit of the genealogist's work,
regardless of whether a fee is paid for that benefit. Individuals certified in genealogy, like those in
any profession, are expected to pass qualifying examinations. Our website includes detailed
information about certification for those who might be interested. It also includes an online roster
for those who would like to locate a qualified professional to assist them. And there are some
valuable topical articles from the BCG's quarterly publication for all genealogists who would like to
build their own research skills." /Mike St. Clair, Volunteer BCG Webmaster,
