Very informative. I feel so far from even coming close to having consistent enough methods of researching at this point that these
suggestions have helped to make me feel like I am capable of doing a much better job. Everywhere you duscuss genealogy, you hear how far
another person has researched and how very much that they have discovered. One begins to feel so at a loss. Paula has made me feel that
her strategy and methods not only are simple but exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you, Paula.

Helpful!
I enjoyed a reminder about all the little things that will make researching and staying organized easier. I’m currently taking courses
at SLCC so organization is definitely going to be important and I want to be more productive with my time.
I got a few tips about how I should do things. Most just reminding me of what I should do and a few new ways of doing things. I enjoyed
it very much.
I have been fortunate enough to have heard Paula a few times in person. She always gives her audience so much good, practical knowledge.
Great genealogist and speaker. Thanks for offering this webinar.

Interesting information and well organized presentation
“It was a nice reminder of getting organized BEFORE I research!
Thank you!”
It was clear and easy to follow if one puts their mind to researching correctly.
It was very helpful for me.
It was wonderful to have a seminar with great suggestions for more experienced researchers rather than beginners. I really appreciated
the new tips I picked up through this webinar even though I have been researching for over 10 years.
“It’s so helpful to me if there are concise, listable steps. At one point there were about 5 or 6; I really need to relisten to all of
the organized, recording research webinars…. list all of the steps and then choose the ones for EVERY thing I find, and then those for
special circumstances. I’m still swimming in the many takes on how this should work..”
Just what I needed…good tips and strategies!
Loaded with great content, I know I have to listen again!
LOADS of great information – I’m one of the disorganized people she spoke about – 20 or 30 coil notebooks, plastic boxes full of notes
and documents, sticky notes – too many to count… I am glad I didn’t miss this webinar because I really needed to hear it.
Lots of good content, well-paced. Bonus: mentions of my home state of Minnesota! 😉
Lots of good hints.
Lots of good ideas !!
Lots of good information. Now I need to get busy organizing my files and write down my tasks.
Lots of great information. I’m just getting started with genealogy so it was a good overview and I jotted down things I’d love to learn
more in depth. Thank you.

Paula was very interesting to listen to.
Paula’s webinar was LOADED with information. I have to listen again to catch more tips. Even experienced researchers will learn from her
