Genealogist’s Codes of Ethics

This month for ProGen we were asked to read Chapter 5 of Professional Genealogy PPS edited by Elizabeth Shown Mills titled: Ethical Considerations by Michael S. Rampage, J.D., CG.

In reading the chapter I thought it would be good to review and post other Genealogy Codes of Conduct that I was familiar with. Here are links to some of them:
