This was an excellent seminar. I've tried to use the LA Database before, but had problems. Now I better know how to approach it. Thanks!
This was an excellent webinar! I always learn so much from Nicka Smith. She always teaches us the what, where and how to use record sets that are so vitally important for African American genealogy.
Nicka has always been a remarkable presenter of her research. I feel honored to know her.
Nicka's presentation was incredibly informative and easy to understand. I now know that doing research on enslaved people in Louisiana is very unique. And now knowing about Dr. Midlo-Hall's work and getting direction about my specific research will make all the difference. I am so glad Nicka took my question because I would've never known about looking outside of the Louisiana to find my ancestors.
Awesome webinar. So much great news. I can't wait to watch the replay.
No words for the amount of information imparted by Nicka in such an easy to understand fashion. Thank you Nicka
Great detail and resource information given!
Excellent. Exceptional.
