The speaker was amazingly knowledgeable about genealogy. He was also quite funny. This was very helpful, thank you.
This introductory webinar created several questions which I am looking forward to finding the answers too in the upcoming webinars in this series.
This is the first webinar I have heard. I enjoyed it. How can I get the pdf of today’s webinar?
This seminar ignited hope in me that I will be able to find more about my 5G grandfather who came to America from Scotland about 1735
This was a helpful overview. I especially appreciated hearing the presenter decipher the script and semantics of old records.
Totally interesting! So, possibly my Scottish ancestors came from Ireland! So much to learn.
Truly fantastic. Might I suggest that you have a webinar of just question and answers with Dr. Drurie;-)))))
Very good. I will watch in full at a later date.
Very knowledgable, and entertaining to listen to! I look forward to hearing more from him.
Wonderful introduction to Scottish records!
Wonderful speaker for this topic. I really appreciate having a native of the area present rather than a lecture from a researchers.
