    Just had the pleasure of watching Ms. Bah’s webinar. Her methodology, advice, and research examples inspired me. For too long I’ve only wondered who is buried in our family cemetery. The stones I remember as a child have been trampled by cattle and are long gone. Now I know how to do the research. Thank you!

    EXCEPTIONAL FUNCTIONAL, PRACTICAL INFORAMTIVE STRATEGIES PROVIDED FOR SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE. VERY FLUENT & CONSISTENT STRATEGIES REINFORCED THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION. INTEGRATED SENSES FOR RETAINING INFORMATION: (EX: VISUAL, AUDITORY, TOUCH), WHICH FOR ME CREATED A SENSE OF TRAVELING BACK INTO TIME AND AN EAGERNESS TO EXPLORE MORE! THANK YOU!

    This session was very informative. I have been researching for bout twenty years and still learned something new about taking a deeper dive into church and other organizational records and the people

    Every time I watch a presentation by Char Bah, I learn new things and get ideas for my research. I love that she is so visual and talks about all the things that make up a community, which helps with research.
