About this webinar
Many records have been lost due to climate, poor storage, and war. Often it is possible to find alternative records if you know where to look. Federal records such as the census, and cemetery records both local and national are just two of the many record types to check to find ancestors who lived in areas where records were destroyed or lost.

Loved the personal stories too. I'm new and I'm hooked now! Thank you for the free webinar and thank you Mary Hill (I will watch more of your videos).\n\nShe had several records that I hadn't thought of. I will be adding some to my overall checklist of records to think about for each search. :-)\n\nSo informative! Love listening to Mary. She presents information in a clear and understandable way, which I appreciate as a "newbie".\n\nSpectacular webinar! So much to learn!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent!!!\n\nThis was my lst webinar at home and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for bringing it to me.\n\nThis was the best webinar. Mary Hill is very easy to follow and understand. I liked the way she recapped parts of her information. It was easy to follow how she got to her information and what she was teaching. I look forward to more of her webinars. Think I will need a membership. There is so much to learn at these webinars. Thank you so much, Geoff.\n\nVery well organized and very infromative. One of the better. I was thinking this one needs to be printed and kept near my computer as a resource guide.\n\nWhat a great webinar and a wonderful presenter. In my book Mary is a "10".\n\nWonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!! So many unfamiliar websites to test-drive. Thank you, Mary. That was really informative. (And I, too, spent four happy days listening/watching RootsTech 2018. What a wonderful gift that is to all of us.) Thanks, Geoff, for another great webinar. \n\nWow! I really learned a lot from Mary today. I've used Fam Search for 15 years, but I didn't know it had the info that she showed us today.
