    I enjoyed Dr. Shelley Viola Murphy's webinar. She is so friendly and it comes across listening to her. I felt like we were sharing a cup of tea and talking about genealogy. Also she is very easy to understand and speaks so clearly. I frequently cannot understand when some others are talking or miss some of their words. I will keep my eyes open for more of her webinars.

    This is one of the best, concise webinars I have watched (and I watch a lot). Even as an advanced researcher, I recommend EVERYONE watch this one to learn, to review, to remind!!!

    Excellent and easy-to-use timeline format! Very helpful - I've used a variation for some years, and I will need to modify mine to include another column!! Much appreciated.

    When I reach that brick wall, I must resort to doing timelines. It always pays off with my journey.

    My first Webinar Family Tree webinar and I was really impressed with the content and the way in which it was presented, that made it easy to follow and to understand. I feel inspired to go away and follow the advise that was presented and have booked several others that are being presented in the coming weeks and feel they will be benefiicial in my research journey if they are as good as this one was.

    Most of the time when you go looking for 'timelines' forms, you will see a line with the years noted and big events noted, wars, census, royalty, etc. What se just explained is more of a chronology, it allow the placement of all types of events for the family, the community, state and the world. It shows the 'gaps' and tells the story. I always include the whole family's BDM as they can often explain what I call the 'temperature' of the family and their movements.

    I enjoyed the webinar and learned a few things to add to my current timelines. I will have to become a member to access the agenda for the webinar.
