In this three-module self-paced course, Michael Grant Hait Jr., CGSM, helps
genealogists with one of the most confusing areas of genealogy research, “how
do I cite my family information?” Knowing where we located our family
information and keeping accurate notes, or citations,
is the backbone of reliable genealogy. The course modules consist of lessons,
examples, citations, and graded quizzes and cover topics on “Introduction to Documentation,” “Basic Citation Principles,” and
“Applying
Citation Principles.”
This NGS American
Genealogical Studies course, Guide to Documentation and Source
Citation, is available for $30.00 for
members and $45.00 for non-members. For further information, to view the
