   Lots of resources, and inspiring me to spend some time getting to know JewishGen.org better...\n\nMore than I could take in since I don't have any Jewish ancestors but am helping people who do.\n\nMuch excellent information with a good handout to make following up easier! Thanks.\n\nOutstanding job with a really difficult topic... Difficult in that there is soooo much available in so many ways on Jewish Gen!!\n\npresentation was lively and the screenshots were clear. I am looking forward to revisiting the website and checking out the improved parts.\n\nProbably could do a webinar on each part of the JewishGen.org site since there are so many ways you need to approach finding the specific data you are looking for on the site. I'll need time to absorb what was shown and view this again step by step as I try the techniques provided. Thanks.\n\nRealize how to do my research on jewishgen much better now. I think I'll actually find things that will be helpful.\n\nso much great information\n\nSo much information, I enjoyed the speaker's lecture and am learning just how overwhelming this can be, especially since I am a non-Jewish trying to research the family history on my husbands side. Romania, Hungary, Austria. Phew! \n\nSpeaker was very personable and knowledgeable.\n\nThank you Deborah and JewishGen. This was such a graceful and informed invitation to an area that seems to us novices as daunting. Not so!\n\nThank you very much for these webinars!\n\nThank you, Deborah. I learned so much that will help further my Jewish family tree research. Marian is a great host--thanks!!\n\nThanks for another wonderful webinar.\n\nThanks once again for putting these webinars on. \n\nI just keep learning more & more things from each one. \n\nThis one I think will be very useful as my husband’s parents came from Austria & Russia. \n\nJust have to squeeze harder for me to get back into doing all our trees (16). \n\nThanks! More Jewish and DNA!\n\nthere are many things on jewish gen I have not used and am glad to learn about them\n\nToo much information, presented too fast. \n\nVery easy to understand and great questions. Can't wait to work on it tomorrow.\n\nvery enlightening\n\nVery informative and clear.\n\nvery informative and thorough\n\nVery informative! a handout prior to the webinar for everyone to take notes would be helpful\n\nThank you to the presenter for a good overview of Jewish gen\n\nVery informative, learned several new things about searching databases.\n\nVery informative.

   A lot of useful info about a site I found difficult when I first tried to use it. Wonderful presentation!!!\n\nA lot to digest. Presenter was very knowledgeable and made the information dance and sing (sometimes a little too fast.) Glad there is a recording and handouts to fall back on.\n\nExcellent information! I learned a lot about the JewishGen website!\n\nexcellent tour and info ... been a while since I visited JG. Newbies would have benefited by actually seeing the dropdown arrow options; they can be overwhelming to someone new. Wonderful site, and kudos to all involved w JG, especially the researchers and transcribers, and donors, of course.\n\nGives me incentive to revisit Jewish Gen in more depth.\n\nGood but a bit overwhelming...need at least another 2 hours to comprehend everything on the website.\n\nGood info and easy to follow as you went through it.\n\nGood presentation & terrific handout. Thank you!\n\nGood site, thank you. Very interesting\n\nGreat coverage of a complex and deep website.\n\nGreat information and a way to use it. Time well spent. Loved it!\n\nGreat information.

She says she isn't an expert, but I beg to differ! Thank you !\n\nI have been using jewishgen for years but still learned some useful information.\n\nThank you.\n\nI learned a ton! Very good lecture.\n\nI never realized how much I was missing on Jewish Gen- Thank you to Deborah for an excellent webinar.\n\nI thought I knew most of JewishGen but I learned several new things and it was a good review of important stuff.\n\nI thought I used Jewishgen quite productively but this opened my eyes to things I never dreamed of.
