    there is no question that my paternal ancestors were part of this era's - and areas - history. I have 3 dozen new ideas thanks to Mark!\n\nA rewatch to gather all the packed filled information he provided.\n\nAlthough I'm not specifically interested in Daniel Boone, I ALWAYS learn something when I hear Mark Lowe.

There are so many pearls he mentions.\n\nexcellent\n\nExcellent ~ great speaker ~ very knowledgeable ~ LOTS of resources to follow ~ \n\nExcellent information!!\n\nExcellent presentation.\n\nExcellent presenter!

Thanks!\n\nGreat speaker\n\nGreat tips on using maps in my research; thanks for the sources.\n\ngreat webinar..so much to take in..\n\nHad heard an earlier version of this talk, but just the highlighting of the "Export" function on the Rumsey map site was valuable to me!\n\nHe provided some great resources!\n\nI appreciated the concept of following an ancestor by putting marks on a map - and extending that to several generations. A visual understanding keeps things in order in my mind. Thank you.\n\nI had hit a slump in my research for a book I am writing about my ancestors in the time of development of the area around Morgantown West Virginia, and Prickett's Fort. This webinar gave me the lift I needed and the RESOURCE list to get me going again. Thanks for a great webinar. Many of my ancestors would have been contemporaries of Boone.\n\nI truly believe this is Mark's best webinar ever for Legacy Family Tree Webinars - and I've watched them all! His explanation of the strategy for research that he described today is exactly what I needed to learn about - for all my migrating ancestors. The only problem with it is that there's no way I'll ever live long enough to get it done! Excellent webinar! Thank you to Mark and to LFT Webinars for this!\n\nI wish we could give a rating much higher than 5! As usual, I am overwhelmed by the information Mark shares and feel like I don't know where to start implementing what I have learned ! \n\nI would give it a 10 if it was a choice. One of the best webinars I have ever watched -- and I've been watching since the first one! Love Mark Lowe! If I'd had teachers like him, I would have learned a lot more in school. He makes history come alive. I just can't say enough good things. And his is the first explanation of "longhunters" that has made sense to me. Now I understand.\n\nI would listen to Mark even if he were only reading the phone book.\n\nInteresting presentation. Thanks\n\nInteresting study of how maps and written histories can be used together to follow ancestors. Thanks.\n\nIt was great!!\n\nJ. Mark Lowe is an excellent presenter who I have been fortunate to hear numerous times! Such an expect on TN and KY research! \n\nJ. Mark Lowe... Amazing as usual. Thank you!\n\nLove maps.\n\nLove Mark Lowe!

    very interesting\n\nvery interesting\n\nvery interesting\n\nVery interesting and helpful in obtaining family information....my hubby's 4th Great-Grandfather is Israel Boone, brother to Daniel. I've done some research but love the idea of mapping which I will use for my line as well. Thank you for your webinars; I always learn a great deal from them.\n\nVery interesting on several levels - history, maps, genealogy, project development - so useful!\n\nVery interesting topic. I too love maps!\n\nVery Interesting! He is so articulate. Wonderful!\n\nVery interesting. Mark Lowe is so knowledgeable about his topic that his enthusiasm shines through. My husband's ancestor was in the same area as the Boone family, traveled with the Boones, and married into the Boone family. I had not gotten very far with the extended family, now I am very excited to take the information Mark Lowe presented and put it to work with his family tree. THANK YOU.\n\nVery interesting. Hard to imagine how these people would go off into the wilds for months at a time, especially for the first time to a specific area. I imagine their compass would generally be the sun.\n\nvery interesting...need to have him again!\n\nWill be viewing this one again and again!!\n\nWished it could have been longer! I would have loved to hear about his move into Missouri.\n\nWonderful resource hints!\n\nWonderful. Gave me some great ideas for researching.\n\nWow that was great!
