I often find myself in rabbit holes when it comes to research, but now I feel better about digging!
Awesome as usual!!
Fantastic presentation.
Great webinar - learned a lot about record searches and to keep looking even in places that you would expect to find anything.
I wish I could rate webinar even higher! It was riveting!!! Nicka is an amazing speaker who took us through step by step on how she uncovered the story of John Lee. Her enthusiasm was infectious and her research was impeccable. I can't wait to hear her speak again!
The presenter was able to provide a number of 'alternate' resources to check when a paper trail is otherwise looking slim. Thanks!
Very interesting. I have found relatives in New Zealand that I wasn't expecting
This gave me chills, all the connections and how she discovered them! Always love Nicka’s presentations.
