    Gena had a whole lot of sites that I didn’t know about or had forgotten about, and has re-energized my search. Geoff did an amazing job of trying to keep up with her and answering some of the simple questions about sites. This was one of the best overall, general researching webinars I’ve attended.

    Gena is always a good presenter, and we learn a lot.

    Great webinar! I learned so many new sites to go to

    Great. I discovered some Web sites that I didn’t know about and learned about content on some Web sites that I currently use. This was well worth our time.

    Heard many sites that I wasn’t aware of, such as vitalrec.com, deathindexes.com, and rootsweb wiki. Some webinars I fall asleep, but during this one I stayed awake the whole time.

    Her webinars are always so full of information with extra gems. Delightful

    High quality webinar. Information was thorough and helpful. Thanks!

    I am afraid I was pulled away from the webinar several times at work today. I hope that this will be archived so I can come back and fill in the blanks. This was the first time I have done a family tree webinar.
