Published Articles & Books by Certified Genealogists, January through June 2025

BCG associates prepare and present the free monthly webinars sponsored by BCG through Legacy Family Tree Webinars. They present lectures and workshops at both virtual and in-person events, and they write for scholarly journals.

These books, articles, and case studies offer a unique and permanent record of the methodology, research process, record sets, and writing skills used to solve difficult genealogical problems. They are invaluable to the family historian as guideposts to solving similar problems of identity, location, parentage, and relationships.
