    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.

    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.
