This is where I am learning the trade. The woman who runs the site is an instructor. She has a doctorate, but not certain it in genealogy. If you want more info on the group just let me know.
I would be very happy to help you with this project. I love, love, love genealogy! Now that Maggie is married I returned to my passion!

Lizzy
PS: Congratulations, married lady!
Lizzy I remember reading that you were a genealogist but I couldn't remember if you were still a student or if you had gotten your certificate yet. I was hoping you would see this thread and jump in.

I think stuff like this is so fascinating. I defenitly want to find out more. I would love more info on the group. Would you mind PMing it to me? Thank you so much Lizzy.

What I did was go to yahoogroups.com, then I chose the group I wanted to join. The group is sensational! Diana Muir is the administrator and the instructor. If you choose to take the classes she will let you know how to access the lessons. Some people take the lessons but never turn in their assignments or take the exam. I am planning on going all the way, My goal is to specialize in Irish and Minnesota genealogy.

Oh, I forgot the best part.........the course is freeeeee!

Let me know if I can help you Glenda. And if anyone else has any questions, I may be able to answer them.

Are you serious? I may have to check this site out. I love doing geneology. A couple of my Mom's cousins have gone back several generations on my Grandpa's side, we are from Norwegian royalty. Searching online I have found other geneology trees that match up with some of ours, and I have got back as far as abt 590 ac. I have done a bit of work on my Grandma's side too, but haven't gotten as far.

Glenda - you will have to let us know how the DNA thing goes. That is so awesome.

I've always been interested in geneology, but now that I'm bored at work today, I'm totally into it!! I have so many windows open with all the links provided! I'm thinking of taking this on as a pet project to keep me occupied and I can give it as a gift to my parents (Dad) sometime b/c he's also into this stuff too.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
