Great information. have been a huge fan of your web site, Cindi for a long time, and I am constantly amazed at all the information available. Now, I won't have time to sleep, for having to fix some transcription errors that have been bugging me. I made a mistake on Family Search, and the lady who had added the info originally, got in touch, and I apologised profusely, (two people of same name and dates, same place.. turned out they were cousins!) now we share research. Good result\n\nThanks Cyndi. Excellent. We all need to be reminded of our responsibilities when adding information to our family trees and other genie sites. \n\nThe webinar was very helpful to me, and I have already been able to correct mistakes that have been made on census records.

   A different topic- and well done and much appreciated. Thank you.\n\nA well organised presentation and informative. Very useful. Thank you Cindi!\n\nA wonderful introduction. Now, could we have part 2? vbg\n\nAbsolutely terrific webinar. She presented a lot of ideas in a great format. Can’t wait to share the information with members of my classes.\n\nAmazing! I know that I did a lot of cut & paste when I was new and now I need to fix it. While the webinar was focused on how to fix things online, it encourages me to do the fixing of my own file that I know I need to do. The webinar taught me the skills in how to respond when I see things online (when I'm back to online research). Skills & encouragement, what more could you ask for?\n\nAnswered lots of questions\n\nAs a follow up webinar - I could use a "how to locate and correct any cut-and-paste genealogy that ended up in my own personal tree" because when I was first starting out in the 1970s, I thought I would remember all my source citations.....LOL! Seriously, I'd love a breakdown of how to strengthen research and also plug any holes where I meant to go back and follow up with more data, but neglected to.\n\nAs always - clear, clever and fun! Several hints that will help me in the future with this ungoing problem, my own and others. Thanks. \n\nAs always another great webinar and speaker! Cyndi gave an excellent presentation and it was most helpful. Thank you! : ) \n\nAs always, Cyndi is great!

Thank you!\n\nI enjoyed it and learned quite a bit as I am just starting to get back into my geneology!\n\nI had no idea that I could correct Census transcription errors. Thank you!!\n\nI have been researching family history for 50 years, but still learn something from every webinar, especially from Cyndi!\n\nI have been working to correct errors. This information was extremely helpful.\n\nI learned some things about making comments in Ancestry and MyHeritage - great information!\n\nit gave me many ideas!!!!\n\nIt has encouraged me to be more diligent and to check my tree again more thoroughly.\n\nIt was super and Cyndi even used one of my blog posts as an example!\n\nIt's CYNDI!!!! The scale should go to 10!!\n\nI've just begun to notice some trees on Ancestry that are labeled "In Progress" or "Draft". I was glad for the reminder as I know there are a few issues in my tree. Will check to see if I can rename my tree as being "In Progress."\n\nkeep up the good work\n\nLike options on sites like Ancestry etc to view and leave comments.\n\nLikes: fast pace, great documentation to follow along, and some humor sprinkled in. \n\nLots of great info! Now to put it to use.\n\nLots of tidbits to contemplate and put into practice. Thank you Cyndi\n\nMore of Cyndi please?
