Upcoming Geneosity Changes

- Installation of a new theme and website navigation:
We're currently in the process of converting www.geneosity.com to a new layout which will make it easier for site visitors to navigate the website. Our Genealogy Forms section will be separated into several categories for charting, research and extracts/proofs.

- Introduction of a Beginning Genealogy course:
In the next couple of weeks we will be unveiling our beginner's course in genealogy. The course will discuss the general methodology of genealogy as a pastime, and the basic rules that should be followed so that your research work will be verifiable and productive. An introduction to methods, documentation and preservation of your records will also be included.

- Family Historian Certificate program:
Shortly following the previous items we will roll out our certificate program for those responsible for collecting, labeling, researching and archiving family history materials. The goal of the program is to educate individuals on the proper methods of collecting and preserving information and artifacts of family history so that they will be available for several future generations. This course will earn a certificate of completion. This program is not yet associated with or accredited with any other organization but will document a level of proficiency in the subject matter.

- Genealogy Forms to be converted to PDF format:
Gradually, most of the forms contained on Geneosity.com will be converted into a PDF format that will be editable on-screen and saved or printed as a blank. We have had numerous requests for these, and by popular demand we will be implementing this program in the coming month. Our existing forms will continue to be available.

Thank you for your support and pleasant mention of Geneosity.com in the past. We'll hope to achieve several new ways to earn your following.
