    An excellent presentation, thoroughly researched and delivered at a comfortable pace that allowed time to take in the multiplicity of sources offered to make the point of how valuable the "place" is for our research. It certainly opened my eyes as to how to extend the reach of my research. As a descendant of migrants from Prussia and Poland to Australia, and being an avid research on the origins of World War One, I found Dave's presentation a breath of fresh air, and of immense value and interest.

    Amazing talk. Expected nothing less from Dave Obee. One of those webinars that adds to your To Do list even if you aren't researching the exact same thing. New websites to check out as I look for maps, maps, maps. My MapGenealogy folder is about to get even fuller.
