Great Webinar! Informative and tells step by step how to do it. Doesn’t fluff his syllabus with frivolous info, but provides detailed info about materials/tools needed. I will look for more of his webinars.
EXCELLENT! What a fantastic teacher. Thank you
Excellent lecture. Demystifies many documents. Thank you.
Fantastic presentation! I took a land class years ago where we drew out land. All I remember from it was I didn’t do one step correctly and ended up having a reverse map. This is class inspired me to try it again. Thank you!
Outstanding! Jerry conveyed the (formerly gibberish to me) terminology very clearly and effectively. He also demonstrated the process of land records in general, and platting in particular, in a very clear and understandable way for ANY ordinary lay-person. The use of case studies effectively demonstrated how (any why) platting properties can break down our brick walls. A truly outstanding presentation! I have zero qualms about going forward and tracking all the properties in my genealogy files. {Standing ovation}. Thank you Jerry! Job well done! I look forward to your future presentations!
Well worth watching this evening. I have many many American ancestors and living distant relatives so it should be an interesting tool on my adventure to learn more about them.
Very instructive.
Well done presentarion!
