I left early because it was a poor match with my experience level, but I think the webinar would be great for many researchers.\n\nThis is a wonderful webinar.

   He was phenomenal \n\nI believe I have a Loyalist ancestor who went from South Carolina to the Bahamas and thence to West Florida, where soon after he found himself back in the United States again as the US border moved westward. This webinar gave me some good pointers for pursuing that lead. Thanks so much!\n\nI don't think I have any Loyalists but this webinar was very interesting. Maybe I can help someone in my genealogy group. thank you Geoff and Craig Scott.\n\nI don't think I have any loyalists in my family but Craig Scott is a great presenter and I really enjoyed this talk. I also learned a few things about my own research for the Rev War patriots that I do have in my family. \n\nI found the speaker and content very interesting. I learned a lot of information.\n\nI had no idea there were so many ways to differentiate between types of Loyalists! Thank you for this very informative webinar! It was expertly executed and gave me many new resources with which to research my Revolutionary War-era ancestors!\n\nI have already done some research about two my Loyalists ancestors......but this webinar has given me so much more for doing deeper research. Many thanks! \n\nI have found UEL ancestors but this gave more sources to flesh-out their backgrounds. Thanks!\n\nI have read a couple of books about Loyalists, but this was the first webinar I've listened to about them. Craig Scott knows so much about military history, especially in the Colonial era. Thank you for bringing us this important webinar. I now have new sources to pursue. \n\nI knew nothing about Loyalists but now if I needed to tackle such a relative I'd know how to proceed.\n\nI learned about people that I never even thought about during that people of time.\n\nI love his details. The step by step process and all the resources.\n\nI loved the amount of sources and resources he pointed to for my research use. It was excellent.\n\nI need to start from the beginning.\n\nI'm new to this subject, but his presentation and syllabus have given me great resources and tips on how to proceed. Will check out his other lectures!\n\nI'm very involved with the UEL Association of Canada, and I still learned about sources I didn't know were now on Ancestry.com. Thanks, Craig!\n\nInformational and interesting. Provided lots of references and tips for further research.\n\nInteresting to hear a US researcher talking about Loyalists. Didn't know that so many people loyal to the Crown stayed in US. Lots of great sources/books/websites. Well worth listening to - would listen to him again.\n\nIt was very helpful, just as I'm gearing up to apply to UEL.\n\nLearned a lot about the Loyalists. Thank you Craig & Geoff.\n\nLearned a lot and Craig offered great tips and resources\n\nLearned a lot, thank you.\n\nLearned lots!\n\nLot’s of good information and sources given by Craig. I will re-watch to capture some of the sources.\n\nLots of fascinating additional info, to that I already have, to assist in my search of my UEL ancestors from New York to Ontario\n\nLots of great info but words and slides were presented so quickly, it was difficult to keep up while making notes\n\nlots of great information but it might work better as a 2 part session.\n\nLots of great information.\n\nLots of great leads, thanks!\n\nLots of info and places to look.\n\nLots of information but a little fast.\n\nLots of information.
