Like her books, classes, and other products, Katie's webinars are always so useful. My success in researching my paternal family (Austria, Germany, Hungary, Croatia) is all thanks to her. I look forward to more of Katie's webinars on LegacyTree!

I've been taking webinars for years and have been looking for a presentation like this without success. It's so basic and direct and SO important to research. Thank you so much! Would you consider doing something similar to this for German B, M, D records that are presented in a table format?
