This webinar was super helpful and super informative! As a new Genealogist this really helps me to better understand about various records types that might help patrons in the future. Judy is a fantastic presenter and I look forward to listen to other presentations by her as well!
Enjoyed the information given and the humour
Excellent session. While my family members are relatively new immigrants to the US, we have plenty of ancestral interactions with penal systems in the UK, Ireland & Australia (in the latter as both convicts & their guards!). Despite different penal systems, this session has provided me with some excellent guidance in how I pursue my research!
