I have worked for attorneys in the past and am a Certified Paralegal; in addition, I am an educator (MA in Education and SPED Certifications) and have first-hand experience in both professions in documenting and research. Furthermore, as I take a deeper dive into my maternal genealogy, I always remember Mr. Geoff's mantra "genealogy without documentation is mythology".

   Nancy was very knowledgeable and very professional in her presentation. One of the best I've attended.\n\nOh, my files are going to be so happy when some Reports to Self along these lines get written and get in those cabinets! (I am often mystified when I find an old packet of previous research by what it even means. No more of that.)\n\nOne of the best BCG webinars I've seen here.\n\nOne of the most helpful webinars I have attended. Clear with many examples shown. Thank you!\n\nOutstanding! It was full of very useful information.\n\nPeters was well organized and spoke competently and with authority. The examples of the reports she shared were relevant, real and great examples.\n\nReally very helpful - the labelled examples along with standards explanations made everything very comprehensive. I will be revisiting this presentation - Thank you!\n\nShe had great examples and a clear explanation as to why the report and citations are given. \n\nSo much detail. Overwhelming for a amateur :-)\n\nSo thorough! Speak pace was excellent - not too fast, not too slow.\n\nSuch a daunting task - but Nancy made it so much clearer that not only is report writing valuable to ANY researcher - but that it is FUN!! Thank you, Nancy. \n\nSuperb presentation\n\nThanks for a very helpful seminar although it was quite complex to cover in an hour. Perhaps it would be helpful to break it up in segments for various future presentations. As a non-professional but avid genealogist It seemed a little too much to think of in terms that I could accomplish in a meaningful period of time and still be able to accomplish other tasks in my daily schedule. I think this should be emphasized to the younger generations as they start the research process. \n\nThe best I've heard on writing research reports.\n\nThe speaker, Nancy A. Peters spoke clearly and distinctly. It was easy to understand her as she went through her presentation. She had examples to illustrate standards, as well.\n\nThe webinar was very easy to follow and the pacing was perfect. The examples were clear with visual clues to support the concepts presented. It was excellent! I wonder if Nancy would consider presenting a webinar on writing a case study using standards and the GPS. Thank you for an excellent learning opportunity!\n\nThis presentation has given me a framework for streamlining and adding focus to the family genealogy research I am doing. The idea of creating a report in order to share our legacy to the youngest and future generations is appealing. I will give it considerable thought as a culminating document by which to share my hypotheses and proved/disproved conclusions about who's related to who and how. I would like to learn how to integrate family history, known family members and new connections from DNA matches.\n\nThis seminar had the most practical information that I can incorporate immediately into my genealogical studies and assignments, and use in my personal research endeavors. \n\nThis was outstanding!\n\nThis was an excellent webinar, especially for beginning researchers.\n\nThis was one of the best webinars I've recently watched. I penciled notes in my copy of genealogy standards as she explained additional things that might fit into the standard discussed.\n\nVery clear explanations, very thorough and well presented.\n\nVery detailed and excellent handout.\n\nVery detailed and logical presentation.\n\nVery detailed and organized, good explanations.\n\nVery detailed and well-explained. Love the examples.\n\nVery Good\n\nVery good information.\n\nVery good. Learned alot.\n\nVery helpful description of research reports. \n\nVery helpful with specific examples and tips.\n\nVery helpful. Increased my understanding enormously. Thank you.\n\nVery helpful...as research reports are my "bugaboo"...thanks I will be looking at some of the items on the "further study" page.\n\nVery information, helpful and interesting. Thank you!\n\nVery informational.

I will listen to this one again--at least once--as I put her teachings into practice.\n\nGreat topic and clear and precise information.\n\nGreat webinar on reporting on research and you must use the GPS.\n\nI found the first section a little abstract, but once Nancy began showing examples from her own reports it was excellent.\n\nI learned more tonite about research reports than in several years of college courses! Thank you.\n\nI loved the examples that tied in the standards to a research report. Thank you for a fantastic webinar!\n\nI see the value in writing a report, but possibly I am confusing writing a report with analysis of the information. Enjoyed the examples for clarification. \n\nI too wish I had known all of this when I first started. It would save me a lot time now. Thanks\n\nI wish I had the information presented here before I started my genealogy research about 1 year ago. Thank you for this useful information.\n\nI'm not a professional genealogist... yet. I've only been at this a few years, but wanted to see what the profession is about. This is the first high-level seminar I've seen. So, what I learned tonight is the BCG sets the bar quite high, and I have a lot to learn! Thanks.\n\nInformative. It helped me to see areas that I can improve in with my own reports. Thank You! \n\nIt always helps to hear a more experienced persons thoughts and ideas. that is what we come to these for. This was great. It will help my focus in the future.\n\nIt was a very good webinar. Lots of great information about writing reports. I will watch it again.\n\nIt was fabulous and very informative. Thank you so much, Nancy!\n\nIt was very motivating to listen to an Nancy, an accomplished expert. I am a bit slack with some portions of my family reporting, but am reminded by this webinar how important each element is to research success!\n\nIt's nice that she showed so many specific examples.\n\nI've had a bit of a mental block about research reports, they always seemed a bit intimidating to me, but this webinar was extremely helpful in laying out the what and the why clearly and simply. \n\nLearned a lot...\n\nLegacy Webinars never disappoint! This was one of the best ever! So clearly explained in an easy-to-understand fashion! Loved it!\n\nLike many genealogists we miss out if we dont \n\nLike many ""uncredited"" genealogists we miss out if we don't participate in these type of Webinars. We learn so much from the experienced researchers providing us not only with the correct format but we obtain the knowledge and pleasure we get from doing the research and also submitting if we choose.\n\nLots of great information for an involved topic. \n\nLots of info.\n\nMade the topic much easier to understand. Encouraged me to begin using a much more organized style. Especially eager to to see some of the sample research reports.\n\nmore please\n\nNancy is an excellent speaker! Her webinar is probably the best one I have ever attended. Her presentation slides were amazing and I wish I was that proficient at PowerPoint, and the information was presented in a very thought out process.\n\nNancy is so thorough. Great examples.\n\nNancy presented clearly and provided examples that helped me to understand better. Thank you, Nancy!\n\nNancy was very detailed and methodical. I look forward to watching more Webinars! Thank you.\n\nNancy was very knowledgeable and informative. She packed a tremendous amount of information into the time allotted. I'm definitely going to have to go back to rewatch it a couple of times to become more familiar with the standards involved. It's all very logical, but I've never tried documenting my research in such a way before and want to be sure of what I'm doing.
