About this webinar

The Internet is one of the best things to happen to genealogy and holds great discoveries for our family history. Previously Gena explored 50 websites and then she presented 50 more so why not take a look at yet another 50! Part of being a good researcher is knowing where to find things and with a total of 150 websites you are sure to make some great discoveries. We will explore websites that aren’t the same old, same old websites. Let’s take our research around the world and explore more websites that will take your research to the next level.

Also really appreciates that she indicates which ones she just loves, or uses all the time, or reads their blog. Big help! Thank you again Gina for my Brick Wall advice that day in the Walnut Creek Library. Last month I found my Great Grandfathers town of origin in Switzerland!!

    Gina’s webinars are always super.

    Great web sites that I otherwise would not have thought of for genealogy research. Time very well spent.

    Great webinar and two hours less/night to sleep for the next week

    Great webinar! Also, I don’t think there is any such thing as a bad webinar in your series.

    Great webinar, but interesting mostly for North Americans.

    Great webinar, excellent presenter. Even though we lost power when she was on page 7! Fortunately it was restored quickly and I only missed her discussing 8 websites, so I’ll watch again later tonight.

    Great webinar, lots of websites I never heard of or knew where to search. Thanks…

    Great webinar, now I have lots of places to search. thanks

    Greta Info!

    Has a wealth of new and different types of websites which provide genealogy information

    Highly informative, fast-paced, and interesting! A lot packed into a short period. Fabulous!

    Hodge podge of websites.

    I am glad to see Gina is a big picture genealogist like me. Context is so important in our family stories and Gina gave plenty of ideas for finding the information to add that context.

    I am going to listen to it over and over

    I could see the handout and hear it, it went well and was interesting.

    I enjoy hearing her because she always presents gems. Love that enthusiasm!

    I enjoyed the session…I learned a lot will be busy for the next couple of days

    I found this very helpful. I really enjoyed Gina, she made it very interesting. I could read a list of 50 websites, but she brought them to life. I look forward to her next webinar.

    I have learned about so many websites, my head is spinning. I am looking forward to visiting some of them for research.

    I love lists, and lists of webinars are the best!!

    I really appreciate the syllabus!

    I was swapping between this webinar and the inauguration

    I’ll be coming back to this day-after-day, year-after-year. This gave me leads to so many of the things I’ve been asking and gnashing my teeth about because I cannot find a straight answer online. Gena’s knowledge is WOW!

    I’m sort of new to family research, so I don’t think most of these tools I would use right now, but I thoroughly enjoyed the speaker.

    Incredible Sylabus

    informative

    Interesting and informative. Some websites I would never have thought of

    It is the thinking outside the box that helps us better understand our ancestors and also help generate ideas on further sources for records.

    It was excellent !

    It was great – learned a lot

    it was my first one and once I figured out gotowebinar it was great
