Kathleen, Can you elaborate on what you mean by "the APG Certification
process to verify their proficiency"? In all my years with APG I haven't
heard of this and am curious to know more. Or perhaps you mean BCG?

APG is a membership organization to encourage professionals and
professionalism in genealogy. BCG is an independent certifying body who
tests skills according to standards.
