The information on newspapers was invaluable.\n\nNicka’s presentation was awesome. I have recently started using newspapers in my research. This presentation supports the use of newspaper for doing black research.\n\nOutstanding as usual. \n\nOutstanding! Thank you!\n\nSo much fun to listen to her. She is so enthusiastic and fun!\n\nSounded more like a history lesson today than a genealogy study. Not that I mind a good history lesson.\n\nSuper!!\n\nThat was absolutely excellent. I am now officially part of the Nicka Smith fan club!\n\nThe beginning history of the newspaper was helpful. Enjoyed the stories which helped with how to use the various newspapers. Nicka's enthusisam on the topic made webinar very engaging! Looking forward to researching newspapers with the knowledge gained today. Thanks Nicka!\n\nThe info was very interesting and insightful. I thought that it would be discussion on how to search newspapers, but it was much more in depth. The live examples were great too. I'm very encouraged and motivated to use these new techniques. I've always been interested in my family history. Over the years I've dabbled into \nresearching, but have gotten more serious this past year or so. This was great.\n\nTruly outstanding presentation with many comments applicable to all family history studies. I'm the developer of a one name study of primarily European descent families but several native american and African american families that I hope to be able to enhance from hints picked up today. \n\nvery informative , Thanks\n\nVery informative and excellent presentation.\n\nvery informative and insightful! i look forward to conducting research using newspapers with our users\n\nVery informative.

Well worth my time. Excellent and knowledgeable presenter. Enjoyed it very much. \n\nVery thorough with great examples.\n\nWealth of information shared. Awesome!\n\nWebinar was great! The hostess went quickly in explaining where the links are and I didn't get those. Hopefully they will be emailed to all who attended. Thank you for this pleasure of learning more. The going deeper always helps!\n\nWell good webinar\n\nWhile the background on the History of Type was interesting, it didn't really add anything of value for me with regard to the overall topic. Would have loved to see some of that time perhaps used for more practical examples of how to initiate actual newspaper searches. Just my opinion, but the overall presentation was great.\n\nWonderful source for searching and well presented!\n\nWOW so much info. I could listen to Nicka all day. Love the history lesson too.

   Always well presented. Nicka delivers subject matter in a manner which is easy to absorb and apply to my research. Great information!\n\nAmazing as usual.\n\nNika said she wasn't sure what one of her documents said about the pleura. Can you please tell her that I believe that it says tare of pleura. As an ICU nurse I believe that it means tear of pleura. It is common for someone who has suffered a serious fall, as this man had, to tear the pleura. A torn pleura often results in suffocation within a few minutes. Thank you.\n\nAn excellent, informative webinar with an outstanding syllabus and great resources/references.
