Great resources
There was a wealth of information provided and the syllabus had links provided. The speaker was very knowledgeable regarding questions and where to find certain records.
i took 5 pages of notes and have happy writers cramps. I need the info in her handout to keep up.
Amazing amount of information given.
I have attended Ms. Thompson's presentations and have always found her to be knowledgable and very thorough.
Our Speaker is certainly an active, educated, well spoken individual who was easy to listen to. Her presentation was the most prepared information I have ever witnessed on a state's genealogical resources. Well done!
