FGI 2015 Set to Be
the Largest Offering of Forensic Genealogy Training to Date
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Dallas, Texas –
September 8, 2014 – Registration
for the fourth annual Forensic Genealogy Institute (FGI) opens tomorrow,
September 9, 2014, at 1 pm EST online at www.forensicgenealogists.org/institute. With 100 seats
available to registrants, FGI 2015 will be the largest-ever offering of
forensic genealogy for intermediate and advanced genealogists.
The
educational arm of the Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy
(CAFG), FGI will be held March 26-28, 2015, at the Wyndham
Love Field Hotel in Dallas, Texas. Registration for each course is $445,
which includes 20 hours of instruction by expert forensic and genetic
genealogists in just three days, minimizing travels costs and time away from
family and work.
The
2015 FGI features two brand-new, concurrent courses designed for intermediate
and advanced forensic genealogists:
· Advanced
Genetic Genealogy and Unknown-Parentage Cases
· Forensic
Genealogy Master Practicum
The
“Advanced Genetic Genealogy and Unknown-Parentage Cases” course applies DNA and
traditional genealogical research to uncovering the genetic heritage of
individuals with unknown parentage. This area of forensic research is
expanding rapidly, and genealogists who can use DNA to successfully
address unknown-parentage cases are in great demand. Enrollment is limited to
60 students.
The
“Forensic Genealogy Master Practicum” offers hands-on experience in researching
various types of forensic cases, working with clients (including interviews and
contracts), writing forensic reports or affidavits (students will write three
reports), and participating in or observing a mock trial to defend a forensic
report. Enrollment is limited to 40 students.
Courses
are expected to fill, so early registration is encouraged at www.forensicgenealogists.org/institute
beginning at 1 pm EST on Tuesday, September 9, 2014. The website also includes
full details of each course’s curriculum as well as faculty biographies.
