You snooze, you lose
Wake up!
There isn’t a single moment to waste!
It’s down-to-the-wire-nail-biting-mouse-hand-warming-up-get-ready time.
Because tomorrow, Saturday, March 6th, is the Big Day if you’re hoping to get in on an unparalleled opportunity for genealogical education and fun — otherwise known as summer camp for genealogists.
Tomorrow, Saturday, March 6th, is registration day for the all-virtual 2021 Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR), to be held July 25-30 this year.
The Legal Genealogist will be back at IGHR for this virtual session (I’m the coordinator for the Advanced Methodology and Evidence Analysis course). And I hope to “see” a lot of friends — old and new — on Zoom during the week.
But I’ll “see” you there only if you get up early tomorrow and get ready to register.
All IGHR class sizes are limited and REGISTRATION FILLS UP FAST. If you want to attend one of these virtual classes, be prepared to start trying to register right when registration for the class you want opens and to keep trying. If a course is full, go ahead and get on the course waiting list — cancellations do happen.
Note that Advanced Methodology and Evidence Analysis has prerequisites. Among other things, the instructor team says: “Students must be working at a solid high-intermediate level before attempting this course. Merely taking Course 2 without putting its lessons into practice will not suffice for Course 3.”
