The International Commission for the
Accreditation of Professional Genealogists (ICAPGen) will be holding their
annual Fall Conference on Saturday, November 1st on the campus of Brigham Young
University in Provo , UT.
The tracks include:
Preparing for
Accreditation
Methodology/Records
Internet/Technology
Professional
Research
DNA/Genetic
Genealogy
National Genealogical
Society (NGS) Board member, Angie Bush MS (Biotechnology), will be teaching and
coordinating the Genetic Genealogy track. The track will focus on helping
genealogists incorporate DNA testing into their research plans, and for
professionals -- into their client reports. This is the first time ICAPGen has
offered a DNA track. Genetic genealogy is currently one of the hottest topics
at national seminars and events, with classes filling up and selling out
quickly. This daylong opportunity is one not to be missed by genealogists
looking to understand this exciting new source.
David Rencher,
Chief Genealogical Officer for Family Search, will be presenting the keynote
address. Other speakers include Ancestry.com’s Crista Cowan and Kory
Meyerink. Additional information about the conference, presenters and tracks
can be found at www.ica,pgen.org.
