Our Team is Growing!

Genealogist, Eowyn Langholf, has joined the team at IIGS!

We are happy to welcome Eowyn to our team!

Professional Genealogist, Eowyn Langholf, has recently joined our IIGS team. With her years of experience in genealogy research, and her great sense of humour, she has quickly become an important member of our team.

Eowyn will be primarily working on the administrative side of IIGS. She will be assisting Sue de Groot with curiculum as well as working alongside Executive Director Angela Breidenbach with various other administrative tasks. You may have already met Eowyn on our website chat app where she is happy to help students with their inquiries.

Eowyn fell in love with genealogy at the age of 14, tagging along with her mom during volunteer shifts at what are now FamilySearch Centers. What began as curiosity quickly turned into a lifelong passion. For over 30 years, Eowyn has explored family history as both a hobbyist and, since 2009, as a professional.

She’s been the “Forest Elf” overseeing the vibrant WikiTree community since 2012, where she oversees day-to-day management, supports members, and helps keep the collaborative tree growing strong. In 2015, Eowyn served as the “Cousin Coordinator” for the Global Family Reunion alongside author A.J. Jacobs, helping connect thousands of people to their place in the human family.

Eowyn is especially passionate about helping others discover the power of connection through family history.

True Cost of Genealogy Education

You don’t need to go $100,000 into debt to pursue your passion for genealogy. You need expert instruction, recognized credentials, and practical skills—and that’s exactly what a genealogy trade school delivers.

What is a Genealogy Trade School?

First, let’s clarify what makes something a “trade school.” A trade or vocational school is an educational institution, operating post high school or college, that provides specialized instruction to prepare students for a specific job or profession.

Latin Terminology and Abbreviations Book!

Our new book will teach you how to understand and transcribe Latin terms in your research!

The Benefits of being an IIGS Student

Our students enjoy the benefits of studying with IIGS

Sometimes it takes a huge leap of faith to jump off the proverbial fence and dive into something new. You begin to wonder if it would be worth your time and money. You think about it again and ask yourself, “What’s in it for me? What would I gain from this?”

IIGS is not just another site offering online courses – we have a heartfelt desire to help you achieve your dreams of becoming a genealogist. You can contact us via email, our website chat app, and by phone. You’ll talk with a real person, we don’t use bots or those endless phone menus that keep you pushing numbers to actually reach someone.

Our student advisors are available to help you decide on what courses and certificate programs best fit your needs. We have student mentors who can help you navigate your course work, an educational YouTube channel with over 100 different videos, and a private student-only Facebook group to keep you up to date on our Virtual Meetings, course updates, and our special speaker events. Our students benefit from monthly Virtual Meetings with our instructors. These meetings give them a chance to ask questions, clarify course work, and learn new skills.

Our new website is user friendly to make learning fun and easy! It includes downloadable PDFs of our course content for you to print at home, or, if you prefer, you can order it already printed from our store. Some of our courses have required reading, so to save you time and money we’ve included them in our store as well.

Our courses are affordable – buy one at a time, buy a package of several to save money, or buy a full certificate program to save you even more! Study on your own time, when it fits your schedule. If something comes up, just give us a call so we can help you adjust your course start and end dates.

When you have completed a full certificate program you will be invited to participate in an online graduation ceremony that celebrates your accomplishments. You will be awarded with a recognized post nominal of PLCGS (Professional Learning Certificate in Genealogical Studies) that can be transferred to several universities for credit (such as the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland).

Many of our students have highly successful careers in the world of genealogy. Several work in the field of Genetic Genealogy solving cold cases and repatriating fallen soldiers, some work in museums or archives, some give lectures and presentations at events such as RootsTech, while others have created their own genealogical business with a wait list of clients.

What are you waiting for?

Take that leap of faith, jump off the fence!

Make your dreams of becoming a Professional Genealogist come true!
