 I received this information from Elyse Hill, the BCG News Release Coordinator:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

CONTACT: Board for Certification of Genealogists®, PO Box 14291, Washington, DC 20044 EMAIL: office@BCGCertification.org FREE BCG-SPONSORED WEBINAR “Uncovering Immigrant Origins Through Cluster Research” by Dana Ann Palmer, CG®, CGL(SM) dana@treasuredlineage.com www.treasuredlineage.com Tuesday, December 21st, 8:00 p.m. EST Descendants of an early Ohio immigrant family had no idea of its origin. Cluster research brought success, using United States records as well as foreign-language records. This webinar considers what to do when no records exist on your direct line, and the family has no helpful oral history or documentation. Tracing associates who traveled together or came from the same area can break down that brick wall. BCG’s next free monthly webinar in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree Webinars is “Uncovering Immigrant Origins Through Cluster Research” by Dana Ann Palmer, CG®, CGL(SM). This webinar airs Tuesday, December 21st, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time (EST). Dana Palmer, CG®, CGL(SM) has been a genealogy instructor at Sinclair Community College since 2010.

She belongs to several lineage societies including DUP, DAR, USD 1812, and Colonial Dames (pending). She loves problem solving and tracking down those elusive ancestors.

“Better Together: Making Your Case with Documents and DNA” by Patti Lee Hobbs, CG

The genealogical proof standard requires reasonably exhaustive research in solving ancestral-identity problems. DNA evidence is now often part of that research.

Patti serves as a Board for Certification of Genealogists trustee, a BCG Education Fund trustee, the chair of the Ozarks Genealogical Society Education Committee. She is the course coordinator for IGHR’s “Genetics for Genealogists: Beginning DNA.”

President Rick Sayre, CG, CGL, FUGA says, “Every month the Board for Certification of Genealogists offers a new webinar as part of an ongoing series that supports our mission to provide education for family historians. These webinars are presented by certified associates and offer a quality genealogical educational experience. The board promotes excellence in research and working to standards in an ethical manner.”
