I am looking for advice on becoming a progenealogist; schooling, mentoring, or what ever I can do to get into this field of work. I am currently a female disabled veteran, and will be applying through the VA program for the training.
I only started working on ancestry this past year, learning as I go through ancestry.com. It’s amazing to find ancestors who lived so many years ago and finding out you know who they are. I would appreciate any advise on online schools, interning, or whatever you could suggest.
