Clearly presented. Always a pleasure to hear Liza. I particularly didn’t know about the history books lists in Legacy – great!
Even though I don’t consider myself a beginner genealogist, even some of the most beginning tips were good reminders, (when we get rushed, we don’t always follow the best genealogy practices).
