As an educator I had a commitment to Lifelong Learning, I attended numerous professional development activities to acquire new knowledge, keep abreast of the latest research and learn new skills.
Now that I am retired from that field and have embraced genealogy and family history with a passion I am making a concerted effort to learn as much as I can about the subject; I am engaging in a program of CGD (Continuing Genealogical Development). I will continue to be a Lifelong Learner as long as the old brain holds up.
On this page I will record details of the learning activities in which I take part. I will continue to write blog posts about some of these activities and link to the posts from this page.
