Continuing Education


The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.
B.B. King


I love learning! 

 I will admit that I wasn't a good scholar and I really didn't do well in my exams but I still loved the learning side of school. ( I can still remember the names of the rivers of NSW.)
Now as an adult I still love to learn and with genealogy as my passion, learning is wonderful. Several of my friends mention on their blogs, CGD. What is CDG? Continuing Genealogical Development.

This is the phase of my continuing learning I'm now in.

I have completed a Certificate in Genealogical Research from the Society of Australian Genealogists.

I have completed my  professional Learning Certificate in Genealogical Studies: Australian Records, with The National Institute for Genealogical Studies, Canada.  I have now finished all my subjects, obtaining professional learning certificates in Irish Records and General Methodology.

I obtained my Diploma of Family History, from the University of Tasmania, in 2020.

I also keeps my skills up to date through attending lectures, talks and seminars.

I
 also undertook a unit titled, Genealogy: Researching Your Family Tree, through the University of Strathclyde.

2016, 2017 and 2020  saw me attend RootsTech in Salt Lake City, Utah. Billed as the world's largest genealogy conference, it runs for three days. I attended sessions covering, writing, Scottish, Irish and German research, how to use documents to prove that you have the right person, to name a few.

I have also attended both a lecture and a workshop, hosted by Writing NSW. The lecture was on 'Finding the Detail: Research Tools, for Writers.". The workshop was on 'Blogging Your Interest.'
I have written blog posts about both.


Remember, you are never to old to learn, even if it's a trivial fact that helps you win Trivial Pursuit.
