   A wonderful topic presented by an excellent speaker. So well organized. Excellent Slides. So knowledgeable. Did not hesitate to answer any question. Would love to hear more from this presenter. Thank you so much for this informative and interesting webinar.\n\nAlejandro's knowledge of surnames is amazing. \n\nBest part was when Alejandro explained meaning of specific surnames that people asked about.\n\nBit of an echo (even with my headphones on) so understanding names was a bit difficult. Would have been better if the names discussed had been shown on the screen. Otherwise, AMAZING!\n\nEnjoyed the presentation and the answers to individual's questions.\n\nThank you.\n\nTodah Rabah\n\nExcellent presentation,\n\nLearned a lot, Thank you\n\nExcellent topic, presenter and moderator!
