Very informative! I learned a lot about BC records.
Informative and interesting. Thank you.
Thank you, Dave for a wonderful presentation! It was clear & easy to understand. I believe you being a newspaper man made it all that much more interesting. I loved all the great pictures! The stories of both your personal family history, how you found them, some of the pitfalls to be aware of, the resources & some relatable, famous people stories were fascinating & fun. Thank you for setting up, managing & sharing the website CanGenealogy to help out others, be a resource in our Canadian research.
Dave - thank you! Your detailed presentation and accompanying syllabus offer numerous resources to help with researching our ancestors in British Columbia.
Dave is an excellent presenter and researcher. I can't wait to look into the many online resources he shared with us. His cautions about published incorrect names, ages, addresses, etc. are valuable reminders.
Excellent!
I know Dave and each time I hear him speak I learn a lot more about Canada. I will be watching this again.
this was excellent, now I have lots of homework to do! so many resources to follow-up on.
