BCG does not have one standardized format that it requires for client reports. In everyday practice, there are multiple ways to approach almost everything we do, and each individual case differs in some particulars that call for exercising judgment. The BCG Genealogical Standards Manual details certain pieces of information that are considered essential for most genealogical research reports and it explains why these elements are needed. The Manual and the Sample Work Products posted on our website provide various examples of ways these principles can be practiced. As a professional, you should balance those essentials against your client’s requirements to produce research that maintains the highest quality possible. When you prepare a certification portfolio, you will, of course, want to choose one of your reports that best exemplifies the recognized standards of our field.
