A lot of information, but it was organized and presented very well. I hope to view another webinar with Diahan Southard in the near future. She is very easy to follow.
A lot of tips how I can go further to verify my GEDCOM.
A lot to absorb in an hour.
Always good to try and keep up with what I may have missed that is going on in the word of genealogy. It evolves so fast that sometimes I can’t keep up with everything and indeed always seem to miss something. There is always something new to learn in every webinar no matter what the topic, and I consider my subscription very valuable and of great value.
Always like to hear from Diahan. She simplifies DNA for me.
as always, a really wonderfully clear presentation

I got a little lost, but that’s okay.
