This webinar was super helpful and super informative! As a new Genealogist this really helps me to better understand about various records types that might help patrons in the future. Judy is a fantastic presenter and I look forward to listen to other presentations by her as well!
Enjoyed the information given and the humour
Prison Talk-Judy Russell was thorough yet lighthearted. Will use her notes as a research guide. Thanks.
Wonderful information, I can't wait to expand my research into some of the sites provided.
Judy is always so up on her subject. I totally loving the marathon. I'll have to sleep for a week.
Excellent session with lots of links to explore. Judy was energetic and engaging - something I appreciate after "trying" to stay up for the later webinars last night. Sad to say that I fell asleep before the 3 & 4 o'clock ones (E.T.) and will have to catch them on replay. I tried, lol. I really like the marathon approach though. It's fun with a great sense of comradery. Well done. Thank you Judy for the awesome session and to all the hosts for putting on a really fun and informative event.
