Syllabus
The information for resources was great.
Wow!!! So clear & informative.
This was my first with Legacy. It was a totally positive experience. The handout is going to be most helpful for my research planning. Much of what I heard about today was familiar to me, but some was new, and lots was a much needed reminder! Thank you.
I rarely give a five. This was an exceptional jam packed guide to where and how to research your New York people before the revolution.
Excellent overview of this time and place. Lots of resources to check out!
lots of good information for a difficult period
very full of useful New York State information
Jam packed with info. (Very glad to be a member and have the syllabus). I have not really researched my Colonial Immigrant ancestors much, but now I am excited to dig in. I really appreciate all the resources and tips, including that my Connecticut and Massachusetts ancestors should not be overlooked as they may have migrated to New York.
