I have been conducting genealogical research almost daily since 2007. I blog about genealogy and my research at http://genblogjulie.blogspot.com/.
I am currently enrolled in the American Records certificate program through the National Institute for Genealogical Studies (http://www.genealogicalstudies.com/). I am a member of National Genealogical Society, New England Historical and Genealogical Society, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Illinois State Genealogical Society, Association of Professional Genealogists, as well as several local genealogical societies.
