WHY USE A QUALIFIED GENEALOGIST?

Education

Qualified Genealogists have achieved a recognised standard of practical and theoretical education in an extensive course of study to an internationally defined level.1

Quality

Qualified Genealogists operate with systematic processes reflecting current best practice, and comply with our Professional Code.

International Reach

Qualified Genealogists are not limited to a single country. The RQG initiative started in the United Kingdom, but already there are eligible Members living and practising in other countries.

Choice

Qualified Genealogists are varied in their interests, accomplishments and activities. Some can advise on arms and heraldry; some seek out beneficiaries; others write family histories; many compile pedigrees; others mainly write or teach; for many, it's an admixture of these. The choice is yours!
