The Association of Professional Genealogists, of which I am a member (see www.apgen.org/directory/search_detail.html?mbr_id=4730), has some exciting news for those wishing to consider the merits of hiring a professional genealogist. Here's the news release:
The Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) announced today that it will participate in the Who Do You Think You Are? LIVE 2011, The National Conference, this coming February in London. The APG will exhibit at the event, with the goal of educating new audiences on the benefits of hiring professional genealogists who adhere to genealogical standards and ethics.
APG president Laura Prescott and APG executive director Kathleen Hinckley, CG, will represent the organisation at the show. “The APG represents more than 2,000 professional genealogists in more than 30 countries,” said Prescott. “The Who Do You Think You Are? LIVE conference will give APG an opportunity to meet approximately 15,000 family history enthusiasts and educate them about our mission and the availability of our members to serve them.”
The APG’s international committee has been exploring the growing need for professional genealogists in markets outside of North America. The committee, with members in England, India, Ireland, Israel and the U.S., examines opportunities to share the APG message and promote international awareness of, and interest in, professional genealogical services. The upcoming exhibition will be the APG’s first conference presence outside of North America.
