Grant should develop a talk on paper sons.
I enjoy learning more about other ethnicities and today's presentation did not disappoint. Thank you for the diversity!
Interesting and very informative
Fascinating topic and presentation! I don't have any Chinese ancestry but am always interested in learning about areas outside of my own ancestry. Thank you to Legacy for providing such a broad range of topics and to Grant for a really interesting presentation.
Very enjoyable webinar
Fascinating presentation.
Thanks Grant. I too hold the Genealogical Research certificate from Boston University.
Very Informative.
