(http://GeneaPopPop.blogspot.com)<br /><br />As a result of using your model, I would suggest two additional areas for assessment, both are somewhat hinted at in your model, but not elaborated upon: 1) Collaboration (What level of collaborative proficiency do I exhibit? This could include: random acts of genealogical kindness, sharing with & receiving data and sources from others, blogging...) and 2) Story-telling (Can I convert data into coherent and accurate stories about the people and families in my genealogy? To what degree, do I integrate general historical data into the stories?) As a genealogist who falls into the primary sub-category of "family historian" (rather than "professional genealogist"), my primary focus is the discovery and publishing of the stories that reside in the data (rather than just collecting, documenting, and publishing the data). I do not mean to suggest that a family historian is not concerned about the accuracy of data and its sources, nor that a professional genealogist only cares about the data and its sources. I believe, however, that there is a subtle difference in focus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854939812003260963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-60505976496484131212010-03-06T21:27:41.405-07:002010-03-06T21:27:41.405-07:00I will assess myself with your maturity chart, I h...I will assess myself with your maturity chart, I have some very different views in this area.

Even is they did, Your "mature" genealogist wouldn't look at it and so it would never be highly respected.<br /><br />The "mature" genealogists I know are collaborating and helping people - something you don't even mention. You seem to be treating it as a solely individual (even competitive) venture. Your "mature" genealogist can neither accept or give help because they must only be looking at original record sources from official custodians. They can "teach and inspire" but not collaborate.<br />I understand that you probably meant the steps to build on each other and not supersede. But the "Conclusion Tree" levels seem to encourage people to become more selfish and elitist.Dave Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311665905119511388noreply@blogger.com
