   I learned a lot and would appreciate more webinars along this line.\n\nI learned about this webinar from my Student Genealogical Society. Great take-a-ways for using FamilySearch and some "new to me" research methods. Thanks!\n\nI learned so much. She highlighted areas that I have ignored. \n\nI learned sooo much. I feel more confident using the site and can’t wait to get back at it. Thank you!\n\nI love examples, it shows me how to do them.\n\nI need to spend more time on FamilySearch, so this was a good start.\n\nI thought I knew a fair amount about Family Search; there were at least 1/2 dozen "Ah Has" for me this AM! What fun; just priceless to get this kind of on-going education through LFT webinars. Thank you , thank you, thank you~\n\ninteresting and useful information that is always good to have.\n\nIt's been awhile since I've had time to use Family Search. With so many changes having been made to Family Search this was an excellent refresher. Many thanks to Geoff and Shannon!\n\nI've been doing Family Research for at least 49 years & I sure did learn a lot of things about the Family research program that I didn't know before.... can't wait to get my supper made & set on hold so I can go try out some of these "New things" I learned about today..... THANKS !!!\n\nJust the information I needed! I do plan on going back and watching this again to reinforce what I learned today and to pick up on some of the items that might have slipped by without sinking in. I plan on trying some of the searches that were mentioned and see what I have been missing by not using all of the features of Family Search! Thank you again!!\n\nKind of a mix between an intro and more advanced. It covered a lot of topics fast. I also found it very helpful and it inspired me to look at church records, which have always seemed elusive to me. Thank you!\n\nLearned alot\n\nlong time searching, always something new to learn.\n\nLoved it, learned lots!\n\nLoved learning about the deeper recesses of FamilySearch. Great tip from Shannon, do the deep dive into the website! Thanks!\n\nMost enjoyable - Family Search is such a 'beast' so it's great to find ways to tame it somewhat\n\nMs. Combs-Bennett is a great speaker - very clear, concrete advice. I will bet she is a Librarian or professional researcher given her very strategic and comprehensive explanations. Love it that you would offer suggestions to remind people of the power of using this search tool. Even if you rely on FS a great deal, there can be tools and options you do not use or have not yet discovered. Just as the speaker advises - look all around so you don't miss anything. Thank you once again. \n\nMs. Shannon made it look so easy. I can't wait to explore. Thanks again for providing such a good webinar.\n\nMy first time here and I really enjoyed the webinar.\n\nNew ideas given to obtain deeper, more meaningful results\n\nNicely done, short & succinct so that is good!\n\nReally good tips about digging deeper!\n\nReally like all the tips and suggestions made by Shannon for searching on FamilySearch.\n\nShannon is ALWAYS very knowledgable and exciting to listen to..\n\nShannon is incredible in her presentation. It is relaxed somehow. \n\nShannon' s presentations are always great! Thank you! :)\n\nShe explains Family Search in a manner anyone can understand.\n\nShe was great. Learn so much. Her way of teaching was fun, interesting and easy to understand.\n\nShe was organized, interesting, a good speaker. Lots of examples, good flow to the presentation. Some familiar ideas, some new ones to try out. I was very impressed. Thank you!\n\nShe's excellent as always! Love her enthusiasm!\n\nSo helpful - and I thought I knew a lot!\n\nSuper job!\n\nTerrific speaker!\n\nthank you so much. \n\nThis was a great, comprehensive view of FamilySearch and not just overview, but getting into details on search strategies.\n\nthis was great...so many ways to research now
