Today it was some new repositories. \n\nI always learn something new from Mark's talks.\n\nI am interested in trying some of his organization ideas.\n\nI enjoyed learning various websites for further research such as the Appleton's Cyclopaedic of American Biography.

Gave me lots of ideas for researching my 19th century Scottish-Canadian ancestors - I know where they lived in Ontario, which is where my grandparents lived, so I spent lots of time in those counties, and will love delving further into the resources about those family-related counties. Really inspiring talk!\n\nI really got a lot from this webinar. Thank You, Mark.\n\nI would like access to replay the classes I am interested in, for further study. \n\nInfotmative.

A good place to start looking for documentation and more places to hunt.\n\nLove Mark Lowe!! I really like his suggestion of keeping the timeline simple, especially by putting the date of the year following the event. Also his suggestion of doing footnotes for the duplicating sources. Many times I can get too wrapped up in details with formatting--maybe because we are trained as genealogists to be very detailed in our research. We just have to be better at simplifying our processes with recording our finds that includes the details. Thank you Mark. Great Job!!\n\nLoved his accent!!!!
