“Women can’t be found in genealogical documents.” “They are difficult to research.” While these statements can be true, there are records out there that document their lives. We will explore 50 records to consider as you research female ancestors from the colonial period to the 20th century in the United States.

Excellent speaker and subject. The hour was packed with worthwhile information, some I never heard. Thanks Legacy Family Tree. Webinars
Excellent speaker, knowledgable, and great handout!!
Excellent. I particularly liked your answer to my question about researching San Francisco, California people for the pre-1906 period. My ancestor and his sister arrived about 1868 and she seemed to disappear.
Exquisite presentation with so much valuable information on where to go to find records of my female ancestors!
Extremely useful.
Fantastic and Comprehensive presentation!
Fantastic presentation.

Fantastic Webinar. My head is reeling with all the possibilities
Fantastic! Really good information on resources that I wasn’t aware. Good presentation style.
Gena / Marian: Excellent content and delivery; very educational – lots of new resources to further my research. Thank You!!!
Gena did a great job of covering a lot of territory in such a short time. Kudos!
Gena did a great job!
Gena is amazing and always does a super webinar. I wish she would present a week-long session in SLC!
Gena speaks clearly, concisely, and the webinar didn’t drag at all. 50 great ideas for looking for clues, and multiple sources I did not know about previously. Gena has wonderful enthusiasm and never sounds tired which is remarkable as I know she has children.
Gena was a wonderful presenter and had some interesting and helpful items. The webinar wasn’t totally helpful for me because the female ancestors whose maiden names I need identify are all from 1850’s back to 1600’s. I will check out some of Gena’s references of websites and books. Thanks so much for allowing me to attend the webinar.
Glad I tuned in – have some favourite female ancestors that I’d like to know better. Always interested in sources. Great webinar – thanks Marian & Gena!

Great! Time well spent! Looking forward to seeing one on Library Archive (archive.org) by Gena.
I was familiar with many of the resources, but there were a few that were new to me.
I was impressed with the amount of information given within an hour presentation! Fantastic webinar!
I was mainly interested in research in Europe but never the less, I found some of this helpful. Much of it I had already done on my own.
I will certainly look for more of Gena’s webinars – she was great!
I wish I could rate it a 10. Very informative and interesting.
I’m a student of the National Inst and I have heard countless dozens of Gena’s webinars. This one (as always) was excellent! She is my favourite webinar presenter and has been for the last two years. Thank you!!
Informative, quick moving, sources, excellent!

Some ideas but not so relevant for non American researchers
Some very interesting places to find records….even though the session was mainly geared to American records there was a lot of good tips for places & resources to seek out in other countries.
Such a great webinar! Loads of good information! Thank you
Terrific! It is so hard to find female ancestors that I appreciate every resource that helps on this topic. Great presenter. Cannot wait to see the replay.

The best ever!!
