Gena has wonderful enthusiasm and never sounds tired which is remarkable as I know she has children. \n\nGena was a wonderful presenter and had some interesting and helpful items. The webinar wasn't totally helpful for me because the female ancestors whose maiden names I need identify are all from 1850's back to 1600's. I will check out some of Gena's references of websites and books. Thanks so much for allowing me to attend the webinar.\n\nGlad I tuned in - have some favourite female ancestors that I'd like to know better. Always interested in sources.
