It's comforting to know I have access to all these experts 24/7!! I was so concerned that the Webinars would end when MyHeritage acquired Legacy. I'm so glad they didn't. Thank you, Geoff, for all the time and effort...and personality...you put into each one. You do a great job! \n\nThat was a lot of fun! Congratulations from Genealogy Calendar!\n\nThe most fun webinar ever!! And to think I almost missed it. So glad I didn't.

Loved every minute!\n\nThis was absolutely amazing! So much fun to watch. Thank you dear Geoff, and all the others involved in the Legacy family, for bringing us your guidance, knowledge, and obvious love to the genealogy world.

I didn't realize how long I've been watching ! I was using software that didn't work for me, and trying out some others. Downloaded Legacy, liked it and learned about the webinar that week. This was pretty early in the series. That webinar taught me the most important thing I needed to know, which is that like so many newbies, I was operating on a lot of wrong assumptions! Thanks first for that, and thanks for helping me learn how to become a REAL genealogist! \n\nThis was such a joyful webinar. It was also interesting to see some of the behind the scenes work. \n\nThis was the best one to date. Thats saying a lot. Each webinar tops the next. Thank you for all you do.

Thanks Geoff, Marian, presenters, and thanks to all your partners. A LFT Webinars sub is a great value, and I'm happy to recommend your webinars series. \n\nWhat fun to review the highlights over the years. And be reminded of ones I need to re-watch, like Mary Roddy's Spreadsheet series.\n\nWish I had been there for #1.\n\nWonderful to hear all the history and experiences. Lots of leads for researching. Plus the speakers.... amazing... can't wait to check out each one.\n\nYou are the best.
