   I learned to do timelines in college during an American History class. The professor had us do genealogy and incorporate historical facts in our timeline. Thanks for reminding me of History Class!\n\nI liked the comparison timeline chart and the many new sources I learned about.\n\nI love spreadsheets. It was great to see and hear more ideas.\n\nI love using timelines and getting different perspectives, new ideas, understanding how others use them, etc. all helps improve our research, visuals and getting others involved. This webinar was very informative and excellent. Thank you\n\nI loved it! So much good info. Very practical and helpful! Thank you.\n\nI loved the confidence of the presenter and sharing her own research. The presenter gave good reasons as to the value of placing information into a context for the research subject. I was particularly intrigued about today's topic as I started a similar project. The seminar reinforced my own research methods and also provided me with a few more resources to utilize of which I had not been aware until now. Thank you for another stellar professional webinar!\n\nI really like the samples shown using Excel spreadsheets for timelines. Also, appreciate all the online resources to check out for timelines. Great webinar!\n\nI thought it was great. I am a visual and I loved the visuals so I could follow along. \n\nI use these but she gave me many new ideas. Very helpful and well organized. Thanks.\n\nI was very impressed with all the topics discussed by Cari. You gave some wonderful ideas to pursue and look forward to starting my timelines. I really enjoyed this webinar and plan on attending other ones now. Thank you so much.\n\nI will be looking for more by Cari Taplin, examples were general enough to be of interest to those of us researching outside of the USA.\n\nIf there was a 10+ on this rating I would give Cari Taplin, CG a perfect 10 and then some!!!! She delivered a clear, concise, informative, and interesting webinar today! I LOVED IT ALL!!! Congratulations Cari on a very fine delivery. You have inspired me to compare two different similar names in my research and this will make it more clear who is who. Thanks again! Are you doing any other webinars???? Sign me up!\n\nInformation arranged in a way that I had not considered before. Appreciate Cari's organizational skills and her ability to tell us how we can approach this timely topic. Thank y ou.\n\nInspirational!\n\nIt was great!!!\n\nI've been needing to "do" a timeline for a DAR patriot to show that my guy is the one listed. I think this will help me tremendously. Great webinar\n\nI've been procrastinating about using a timeline but I now realize how much easier my searching will become. Filling in blanks is awesome when a person is more aware of where they might be. I'm anxioue to use my spreadsheet to increase my progress. Thank you SO much, Cari!\n\nLearned about some great new sources regarding timelines I will certainly put to use. Thanks Cari and Legacy Family Tree Webinars.\n\nLearned several new things about spreadsheets.\n\nLearned so many new things...resources. Ordered my history book as you started.

Interesting and clearly given. Time to work on timelines! Thank you for another fantastic webinar.\n\nGreat!\n\nI already use spreadsheet, table and paragraph style timelines so I feel well-qualified to say she covered the topic excellently. Her addition of online timeline creators and tools was very helpful and some of it new to me. I'm definitely checking out Draw.io.\n\nI always talk about how historical events are important in a tree for many reasons, but i learned a whole lot today about that!\n\nI am a constant user of spreadsheets for family group timelines and Cari's presentation gave me some new ideas! Thanks \n\nI am a great believer in timelines mainly use them to solve problems or issues.\n\nThank-you so much for making this available to people like me. I live 24/7 on a hobby farm and know there are fabulous resources not too far from me, but I have so many responsibilities, I rarely get more than an hour or three for my personal interests. Great topic. Great speaker. \n\nI am sad, watching such beautiful presentations, and I realize how far I am with my family tree from what I could and what I would like to achieve. MyHeritage has allowed me to significantly increase the number of members of the tree, but I have so little information and facts about my ancestors\n\nI can do this ! Yes I can !\n\nI do want to learn to use timelines more. I can see I need to learn the legacy chronology better. Thanks. \n\nI enjoyed it and definitely feel more confident in what I've been doing to build timelines - almost always done to sort out possible multiple people of the same name.\n\nI had just realized I needed to do a timeline so the timing of this webinar was perfect for me! I also learned that there are some available so maybe I don't need to 'reinvent the wheel." Thank you so much!\n\nI joined late - but really appreciate this topic\n\nI just got home in time to see the end, waiting now to watch the beginning.\n\nI learned a lot! Excellent speaker.
