I watched this because my husband has Jewish ancestors about whom I'm trying to find out more. We are both Catholic, so the Jewish faith and many of the terms mentioned in this webinar are foreign to me. I got a good sense of what information is available on the various sites, but some of the specific terms were beyond me.
Well done!
I’m delighted to have won a door prize. Thank you!
Nicely paced, great presentation!
The information was great and both ladies were clear, easy to understand.
Good comparison. Covered a lot of details. No comments on who is better, but there were comments on how to make the best use of collaborations (when the database is in two places).
Presenters were super knowledgeable on all material and were able to answer lots of questions. Terrific job!
organized and professional. Helpful.
