Love how Judy explained the legal aspects of notices.
Judy Russell's webinars are ALWAYS informative, and she offers a wealth of new ideas.
Judy's presentation on legal notices in newspapers was excellent. She provided great visuals with actual newspaper clippings and clear explanations of what to look for in each type of notice. Her knowledge of legal terminology and how it relates to genealogical research really showed throughout. The number of newspaper resources she covered was impressive and will expand my research toolkit.
I love listening to Judy! Such an insightful webinar! Plus, lovely bonus, she gives an extensive list of websites in which to locate newspapers worldwide!
Always excellent for the wealth of information given and for Judy's ability to always sound like she is talking to you one-on-one! Her seminars and webinars offer so much help for your genealogical research that you can't afford to miss even one!
It was so informative. Packed with lots of places to look for legal notices and newspapers.
Judy is the best
