Calling All Graduates May 2020 – April 2022
Graduation plans are in full swing! Graduation ceremonies are being held virtually on Saturday, June 18th at 4:30 PM Eastern time. …
Congratulations To All Our Recent Graduates
What an impressive achievement! It took a lot of hard work, patience, and determination to reach your goal. For some, the goal is to break down a brick wall, for others, it is a new career. You all deserve to see your genealogical dreams come true. Our last graduation ceremony was in May 2019. We delayed the graduation ceremonies for May 2020 and May 2021 because of our respect for the many students who had planned on graduating, but were not able to complete their Certificate Programs. Many experienced delays, mainly involving Covid-19 issues. Our hearts went out to those who struggled through the difficult times we have lived through for nearly two years. It now is time to celebrate the success of all our graduates. We are so very proud of everyone. Over the next few days, we will introduce you to the graduates from June 2019 to October 2021. To recognize all of our graduates throughout the years, please go to our website at www.genealogicalstudies.com, click on the menu item INSTITUTE, and then GRADUATES. Be patient, the list is long and therefore takes time to display. For the first time in our 22-year history, during the first week of March, our graduation ceremony will be held entirely online. Watch for more information on this special ceremony posted later on. Warmest congratulations to all our graduates… Louise St Denis and our team at The National Institute for Genealogical Studies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We have graduates in the following CERTIFICATE programs: Note: List will be updated as blog…

2019 Ontario Genealogical Society Annual Conference
OGS Conference Canada’s largest annual gathering of family historians, the Ontario Genealogical Society’s Annual Conference, will be in London, Ontario from June 21st to the 23rd at the London Convention Center. So many activities are planned… Opening Ceremonies begin Friday evening, followed by a jam-packed program with lecture streams for Saturday and Sunday. Don’t forget about Marketplace, as it is a vital stop for attendees to network with OGS branches, OGS special interest groups, and vendors alike. There’s something for everyone at this conference… Do you have ancestors from England, Ireland, Scotland, The United States, Eastern Europe, The Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, or Southern America and naturally Canada? There are lectures on each of these countries! Do you know what treasures can be found at Library & Archives Canada or in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, or how to plan a trip to your ancestral village? Yup! There will be lectures on these topics also. Do you know how to share your family history findings through blogging, publishing or using YouTube, or what about holding a virtual family reunion? Lots of information about newspapers records, death & burial records, English asylum records & health records in Canada, WW1 and vets. You are right, there will be sessions on each of these topics. And naturally, no conference would be complete without figuring out what you need to know about Y-DNA, Y-Haplogroups, and DNA matches. While at the conference, you might also meet many students from The National Institute for Genealogical Studies’ program. Half of…
2019 Graduation Ceremony
Congratulations Graduates!!! The National Institute for Genealogical Studies invites you to come celebrate with us, with our students, our graduates and our instructors. Anyone can attend. Graduates: invite your family – everyone is welcome! Join us for our 2019 graduation ceremony on Friday the 21st of June as we honor GRADUATES of the National Institute for Genealogical Studies’ Certificate in Genealogical Studies program. This year, it will be late in the afternoon (4:00pm), in London Ontario, at the start of the Ontario Genealogical Society’s annual conference. Our students and graduates are from all around the world. Naturally, because of the far away distances, many graduates cannot attend in person. For the last many years, through the use of a Virtual Meeting Room, we were able to reach a much greater number of students and graduates. Again, this year, we will use a ‘virtual’ meeting room for those who cannot attend locally, and let’s hope, once again, the technology will co-operate! We will give you more details later as to how to connect. ALL GRADUATES (in-person and virtually): it is very important that you let us know if you will be attending. Please send an e-mail to: degroot@genealogicalstudies.com with a copy to admin@genealogicalstudies.com indicating your intention to attend either in-person or virtually. You will receive a confirmation message indicating that we’ve received your email. Further information will be included. If you DO NOT receive this confirmation message from Sue, please call 1-800-580-0165 ext. 1 or 2 to let us know. If you cannot attend, please also…
