Well, I actually looked up and joined the NGS after Warren talked about it. I had long forgotten about it. Thanks!
Fantastic! I thought I was pretty careful, looking at all the info on the census to gather clues, but this showed me I need to look at them again as I probably missed some important details. Thanks!!!!!
Mr. Bittner presented many ideas that I will use for my research. I am especially intrigued by and looking forward to using inferences to expand my family tree.
Very clear examples of how to analyze and create a timeline.
FASCINATING!!! I do recognize all of the details in the data in any census or other document...however I fall short in my transcription of timelines and documentation. I love the idea of making an effort to put all inferences down on paper!!!
It was a very good webinar and he approached the problems logically.
This seminar really got my creative juices flowing!!
I find doing a time line to be a good way to keep from being confused.
