Thank you for sharing this incredible story of your grandmother, Stephanie! It's a good reminder that we cannot judge a book by its cover.
Very interesting and once again shows the depth and level of research necessary sometimes.
Fascinating and provides additional perspectives to research.
Using the Genealogy Standard and how it was applied to her research was interesting. I also appreciated her sharing such a private history of her family. Well done.
Very good Webinar! I now know how to try to search for a cousin~!
Fascinating. I need to do more context research.
Always interesting to 'eavesdrop' on other people's research thoughts/process, and it is helpful to see that process matched to the Standards.
Great presentation. It gives me the motivation to look deeper.
