I came across these snippet videos that the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania did at the 2011 conferences. I thought they were interesting in that these genealogical educators had a common theme as to what they would do differently if they could start out again. Can you guess what that is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_S-OEZlJlA -- Elissa in Pittsburgh, PA Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL www.PowellGenealogy.com www.GRIPitt.org registration opens 7 Feb 2013 CG, Certified Genealogist, CGL, and Certified Genealogical Lecturer are Service Marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certificants after periodic evaluations by the Board and the board name is a trademark registered in the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Elissa, My book was an orange book about 1 inch thick. It only took me six months to find it again. They had changed it at the library to a half inch thick black book. I learned why the man that made copies asked me if I wanted the title page.

Yep. Where on earth did I find that?!?! I have more than a couple of those from years ago.... Beth Foulk also has a great course called "If Only I'd Known!: Beginner Geneaolgy Mistakes" on FS. Her lists are the story of my early genealogy forays many years ago. I also love the 'Rubik's Cube' series.... Thanks.
