I am thrilled to have achieved this goal. I think I have responded individually to everyone who wrote so I wouldn't clog the list with a lot of thank yous. But I wanted to post one thank you on the list in case I missed anyone. I've heard many say that just completing the portfolio is a learning experience well worth the effort. I can confirm that as truth. Even though I was worried about some parts of my portfolio, I knew it was the best work I could do at this time. If my work did not meet the standards of BCG, I wanted to hear it from someone who was qualified to tell me what was good and what was not so good. I am much happier that the judges felt my work, while not perfect, met the standards for certification. But, the comments from the judges telling me what areas I need to improve on would be worth the price whether certification credentials were awarded or not. Good luck to all of you who are still working on your CG or AG portfolio and all who are waiting for a decision after submitting your portfolios. I hope you get good suggestions on improving your work in the future no matter the outcome. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Regards, Debbie Debbie Parker Wayne, CG(SM) Wayne Research -- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://debbiewayne.com/">http://debbiewayne.com/</a> Blog -- Deb's Delvings <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://debsdelvings.blogspot.com/">http://debsdelvings.blogspot.com/</a> DNA Project Admin -- Texas State GS Director -- First Families of Texas CG, Certified Genealogist is a service mark of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certificants after periodic evaluation, and the board name is registered in the US Patent & Trademark Office. </pre> </body> </html>
