Fabulous Webinar with Dr. Bruce Durie
Fantastic webinar with lots of very useful tips and resources.
Great to find on line sites I did not know existed
Great! I am researching both lines for my husband, his parents are both Scottish and German. Learning a lot! Thanks :)
I was called away by an important long distance call so I missed almost all of it. Will have to view it later
Inspiring, lots of ideas to further research, which I'd never know about!
it is interesting to find so many free sites to get started with in Scottish research. Thanks Bruce and also to you Geoff for organizing all of these webinars. This is awesome!
It's my first one, and I found it understandable, enjoyable, and useful.
Lots of great info!
One of the best webinars you have had! Bruce is so interesting and fun to talk to. I felt I was there in person and he was talking directly to me. Thank you!
Scotland is soooo difficult. My ancestors were ones who seem to have bounced between there and Ireland, making it difficult to track them down.
Since my Scottish Ancestry is prior to the American Revolution, I have never attempted to search records in Scotland. Now I know how to get started.
So much great info about searching in Scotland!
The best ever! The entire series by this presenter is just wonderful!
Very interesting - lots of helpful information - thank you
Very interesting and informative.
Very motivating. Being from Brittany, in France, It gives me a lot of clues to search for my Scottish ancestors. Thanks to Dr. Bruce Durie!
Very nice
wonderful links
Wonderful series on Scotland! Thanks so much to Bruce, Geoff, Marian & Legacy for providing these. I've done some Scottish research, but am realizing there's so much more I could do!
Wonderful set of resources, just what I needed! Thanks!
Wonderful speaker, so much great information - Thank you!
