So looking forward to this series! I have an identity question about a Norwegian great-grandfather with the oh so popular surname of Anderson!
She helps us so much in our research methodology, analysis, and proofs! Along with other webinars, Legacy Webinars is a one-stop-shop for genealogy education, with ESM at the head!! So glad to see she's back again, and I love her theme of Identity!
So true! My brother went to school with a classmate who had the same name as him. The difference was their middle name…his was Edwin; the other boy’s was Edward. My grandfather went to pick him up from school and they sent the other boy! Fortunately we moved after that. But the genealogist in me always wondered if the other boy was related to us…I may never know!
It's always great to see ESM's face in a live interview, and I'm THRILLED that she's back for another year. And thank you Legacy for creating a members-only perk of membership. \nI still need to go back and re-watch all of last year's classes and start working on some of my brick walls.
Excited to have ESM teach us more about establishing identities this year!
We are so blessed to have another year of ESM
Great News - thanks!
Looking forward to the new series with Elizabeth Shown Mills.
