    Nickas’ research and presentation encouraged us, I think, to look deeper into our finds and be persistent in our research. Thank you

    Great webinar – learned a lot about record searches and to keep looking even in places that you would expect to find anything.

    Nicka outdid herself! In addition to sharing a family love story so passionately – and with great humor – she also provided applicable research tips and techniques, and record gold mines! Thank you for bringing quality webinars to the genealogy world!
