Any webinar that gives the viewer a kazillion new rabbit holes is definitely a webinar worth watching. =)
I love lighthouses! Peggy presented so many great ways to find them and find out about them. Great webinar!
I have always been fascinated by lighthouses and their keepers, so was thrilled by this presentation, especially since some of the illustrations showed lighthouses in areas where some of my ancestors lived.
Very detailed
I loved this webinar. Family lore states that an ancester on my maternal side was Kepper of the Light on the Isle of Man. I have yet to find him.
Fantastic information on lighthouses, one of my interests as I visit lighthouses when I can and collect photos and miniature of them. Thanks for a very interesting webinar.
Everything you didn't know that you needed to know about Lighthouses and the folks who cared for them. Great webinar.
This was such a wonderful and fascinating webinar to watch. I didn't realize there was so much to learn about lighthouses in general and I can't wait to find out more! Thank you so much!
