   Learned so much. Maryland is a state I NEED to research in, but have shied away from it.

I received some good guidance with this webinar. Thanks.\n\nMD State Archives is one of my favorite places to visit and I am always eager to learn new things about it.\n\nMy first time listening. Very informative.\n\nMy husband has an ancestor who was born in Maryland and died in Missouri. This will be very interesting!\n\nNice clear answers and very nice to hear that MSA is making their sites more user friendly.\n\nOutstanding - best one yet!\n\nOutstanding! Very organized - great presentation style\n\nPresenter was very knowledgeable. I have been using MSA website for about 4 years and have a lot to learn.

   A clear description on how to navigate the MD State Archives. Excellent presentation! \n\nAll of my ancestors were based in Maryland. This gave me some great information about how to utilize the Maryland State Archives when I am back visiting the area to do research. Thank you!\n\nAmazing information! This was one of the most informative webinars I have watched in a long time. Great job!!\n\nAnother fabulous webinar. Rebecca is amazing.\n\nAwesome information. I can't wait to "finish" my Ohio and Pennsylvania research and move back in time to Maryland.\n\nBlew me away so much to learn \n\nBrilliant webinar with a fantastic walk through of What to do and How to do it in The Maryland State Archives. Great aid and learning tool for people unfamiliar with the Maryland State Archive.\n\nCuts straight through to use the archives effectively. Great presentation.\n\nEnjoyed the map of the site. I will explore it from home.\n\nExcellent\n\nExcellent presentation on the Maryland State Archives\n\nExcellent presenter, easy webinar login.\n\nExcellent speaker.\n\nFirst time I've attended a webinar about Maryland State Archives and found it very informative. It's been years since I've been to MSA in Annapolis, but this was a good reminder of how many wonderful holdings are there. Thank you!\n\nGood insight into searching and using the Maryland State Archives\n\ngood talk!\n\nGood. Liked the handouts.\n\ngreat handout\n\nGreat information!\n\nGreat information! From my DNA matches in southern Maryland, I anticipate I had ancestors there. But, I haven't researched back that far yet. \n\nGreat Job, thanks.\n\nGreat overview. I will be revisiting the MSA and land records websites again tonight.\n\nGreat presentation for Maryland Research\n\nGReat presentation style!\n\ngreat resources\n\nGreat webinar! Thanks!\n\nGreat! Thanks.\n\nI absolutely loved this webinar!\n\nI am a retired librarian, but this webinar was so far advanced that I felt brand new to the system. What a wonderful, informative seminar. Can't wait to visit my sister in Annapolis and head out to the Archives building.\n\nI appreciate the detailed look at how to prepare for a visit to the Maryland State Archives. \n\nI found it to be very helpful. I am just beginning to become more serious with my research and this was great.\n\nI had used trial-and-error to find records at MSA before, but this webinar did help "decode" what seemed so convoluted. In the question time, the website Plats.net was mentioned. I had used Maryland Land Records for years, but never checked out Plat.net. Already found a missing piece of family history that way!\n\nI have been trying to use The Maryland Archive website without great success. This webinar has been extremely helpful. \n\nI learned so much and have already visited the MSA several times. Can't wait to go back again!\n\nI liked the walk-through. I like the tangible takeaways like the links in the syllabus.\n\nI probably would have enjoyed it more if I had proven Maryland ancestors. I do have one line that may go back to Maryland once I verify info in Pennsylvania and go back another couple generations.\n\nI really appreciated all the steps she showed us to get to the records. I will be able to use this as a guide to prepare for a visit to the archives. I had been very frustrated with the website and she put everything in line for me. Thanks!\n\nI wouldn't have know how to prepare for my visit to Maryland. This was a great help.\n\nI'm pretty sure I would get lost and waste a lot of time searching the archives online without the information in this wonderful webinar! With this webinar and the syllabus I feel that I can now do an in-depth research to find the documentation I need and how to procure hard copy. Thank you!\n\nIncredibly informative. One of the most useful and practical webinars. Not only tells me where to go but how to navigate once there. Brilliant!\n\nInformative, easy to listen to, and motivates me to visit MD Archives.\n\nIt was a very thorough presentation on MSA\n\nIt was very informative and I enjoyed it very much.\n\nit was very interesting and gives me all sorts of help in pursuing my Maryland ancestors, thank you\n\nI've attended about 3 webinars in this topic - this byfar was the best\n\nI've been to the archives and this has helped me so much. Now I think I can navigate the site so much easier.\n\nI've had trouble using the Archive website in the past. Can't wait to try out the tips from the webinar.\n\nI've used the archives (online, mostly) many times but haven't had the time to master the most efficient way to search it. It is a difficult online site to navigate but this webinar definitely made me better able to search it with more confidence. When they eventually open the archives and the rest of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, I will definitely go again. Thank you!
