I'm enclosing a section of a newsletter and how to subscribe to it. I find it very helpful. Thanks Jeff for intrducing me to this information. Mary The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 1998 by Richard W. Eastman and Ancestry, Inc. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. ========================================================== - OnBoard, an Online Resource for Genealogists The Board For Certification of Genealogists (BCG) has announced a new online resource available on the World Wide Web: Announcing a New Online Resource for Genealogists In January 1995 the Board For Certification of Genealogists (BCG) launched its educational newsletter, OnBoard, popularly hailed as "the best continuing education available for serious genealogists." Since OnBoard's creation, one regular feature has generated numerous requests for reprints - the "Skillbuilding" column that closes out each issue. As a public service, BCG is pleased to make back columns from this series available to all who visit our web site. This currently includes articles from some of the most knowledgeable and respected genealogists on topics like: "Analyzing Deeds for Useful Clues" "Analyzing Wills for Useful Clues" "Citing Your Sources" "Transcribing Source Materials" "Analyzing City Directories" "Conducting Effective Oral Interviews" Feel free to download this material for your personal study. If you are an educator, you may duplicate the columns for your students - so long as BCG, OnBoard, and the appropriate author are credited as sources for the material. But please do not republish the columns elsewhere. You are all cordially invited to stop by the BCG home page at: http://www.genealogy.org/~bcg/ to check out this new resource and the other information available there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscription information: To subscribe to this free newsletter, send an e-mail message to the following address: listserv@peach.ease.lsoft.com The message title is unimportant.
