    Great presentation! Learned plenty of new info, have replayed (and will continue to replay) parts multiple times.\n\nI have many ancestors who crossed the border, some even crossed back + at least 2-3 ancestors who were naturalized, but only able to find a 1-2pg doc for each, but not all documents\n\nAbout 12 min in is the chart of record collections for Texas .. thank you for that, but I want to know .. Is that list available on FamilySearch or did you create it for your presentation? If the former, would you please provide a link? If the latter, would you mind updating the syllabus with it (w/active links)? Thanks!

    Awesome! Lots of very good information! I 'tuned' in today in the hopes of learning how to research earlier New Mexico records, but I will check for more webinars on that subject!
