Exciting News About the GEP!

Clare Marshall, DAR Genealogy Assistant Director, Applications & GEP Program Coordinator

We are incredibly pleased to announce some exciting news about the DAR’s Genealogy Education Program (GEP)!

 Beginning January 1, 2022 the prices for GEP Courses 1-4 will be $75!

Recently the Executive Committee has approved a reduction in price for the four main Genealogy Education Program (GEP) courses. The new prices will be as follows:

  • Course 1: Introduction to Genealogical Research for DAR Applications $75
  • Course 2: Applying Genealogy Research Techniques to DAR Applications $75
  • Course 3: Advanced Techniques for Resolving Problems with Lineage or Service $75
  • Course 4: DNA and the DAR: Using DNA as a Piece of the Evidence for a DAR Application $75

GEP 5: eApps: The Beginner’s Guide to Electronic Applications will remain at $25 and the Mid-Level Review Training Program (GEP 7) will remain at $10.

The GEP courses provide the most complete and up-to-date information on the proper completion and documentation standards required by the DAR for the verification of Applications and Supplementals. In addition to the Genealogical Education Programs, the NSDAR Genealogy Department provides a course in DNA and the DAR, a Registrar Training Course, and the Mid-Level Review Training Program. These courses are a wonderful opportunity to expand your genealogical knowledge, and to learn more about how to properly prepare and submit any DAR Application or Supplemental. They cover a wide variety of topics, such as how to conduct basic genealogical research, how to navigate the NSDAR’s Genealogical Research System (GRS) and various databases, how to write an analysis or service study, and much more!

On top of the new prices that start January 1, we are holding a December GEP Sale!

Starting December 1 and going until December 31 at 12am, we are pleased to offer a Buy One Get One 50% Off Sale! In preparation for the new price in January, throughout the month of December all GEP courses will be $100 with the option to buy one course and get another course at 50% off!

In time for the winter holidays, now you can give the gift of the GEP! Do you know a member that is interested in taking a GEP course?
