I am new to My Heritage so it is really great to have ahaa moments from listening to someone who has been at it for awhile and knows the "tricks" of getting around and how to better use the application. Really enjoyed this and will likely be listening again. Thank you!
This was by far the webinar on this Friday that I enjoyed the most. The reason? It was so simple to. follow...but so "friendly, like we were sitting with a cousin or a friend in a conversation". It seemed like every question that I thought of as she was talking, she followed up with the answer to it within seconds. One thing I would add is not only "Reach out to unknown connections"...BUT REACH OUT TO THE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN OF YOUR KNOWN COUSINS. Let them know their family thru photos!
Interesting talk by Lisa, I started genealogy research in the late 1970's and it was trough letter writing to other people who had placed queries in Everton's magazine that I found distant cousins and was able to get help with my research. New methods for a new time in out history in the way we communicate, but the same method. Get help from other descendants.
Lisa was extremely knowledgable and well prepared! I am new MyHeritage and was cautious with looking at the Theory of Relatively. I had no clue if it would combine or add info to my tree. What I saw on all of the tools will really help me to proceed. Thank you.
Looking forward to reaching out and sending more emails!
Lisa's webinars are always very informative and leave you wanting more...
It was interesting and I want to explore some of her ideas
I love the examples she shared so I can improve my attempts to contact potential relatives to share and learn more. Thx
