Speaker was excellent. She followed a great outline/flow of information. Her handout is a goldmine.

Lots of information, Will be listening to the recording to capture things that I might have missed.
Interesting information on Alsace Lorraine. I may have a German ancestor from Alsace Lorraine but before the dates in her webinar.
So much information. A region she talked about made family stories make since.
