Excellent presentation. I have researched some of the Southern Claim Commision Records before, and now I know a whole lot more about them.
Ms. Gillin is an amazing presenter and gave so much usable information in such a short amount of time, but I didn't feel as if the information was 'cramped'. I would love to hear her give future presentations.
Amazing! What a wonderful presenter and presentation.
Great information not known previously. Well organized and very well presented. Ms. Gillins was able to keep my attention. Very well organized syllabus which will be well used from this point forward. Want to listen to Ms. Gillins' other webinars in the library.
Very informative . It provided me with information I was not aware off. I totally enjoyed this webinar.
What a fabulous speaker! This is such an excellent presentation with so much information on a little-known resource. Thank you!
