    One of the most informative webinars ever, from an excellent speaker and archivist with vast experience. Genealogy is more than BMD. Melissa Barker’s syllabus is a great place to take notes. Add notes from the chat record. Then create your own outline to use when visiting repositories online or in person. This will change my research life! TY, Melissa!
