Win a Copy of The BCG Genealogical Standards Manual

This giveaway has concluded. 
Stay tuned for our next giveaway.

Are you looking to take your family history research to the next level? This month, I’m giving away a copy of one of the most trusted resources in the field—The BCG Genealogical Standards Manual from the Board for Certification of Genealogists.

This book lays out the principles and practices that professional researchers follow, making it an excellent tool whether you’re preparing for certification or simply want to sharpen your skills. Inside, you’ll find guidance on everything from documentation and citation to analysis and interpretation—clear, thoughtful, and built on decades of experience.

I’ve used this manual myself as a benchmark when reviewing my work, and it’s helped me stay organized, accurate, and thoughtful in my approach to research. Whether you’re brand new to the BCG standards or already familiar and want a copy to keep handy on your desk, this is one you’ll come back to again and again.
