Gena’s a wonderful presenter – she moves clearly and directly through her subject matter.
Gena’s webinars are always interesting and I learn something new.
Gina covered SO much in a short time, but it was easy to follow – even though I hadn’t printed the syllabus and was taking notes like crazy. Actually showing the websites and how to navigate to the lowest level was so helpful – sometimes I think I know where to find something, but actually don’t. (e.g., using the card catalog search in Ancestry instead of the home page search). Covering so many sites saved me time – I can see a few sites should be much more useful to my research.
Good information. Speaker very Knowledgable.
Good visual. Love the live moving through the sites, and Geoff’s part too. Clear information and lots of it! Thank you.
Good!
Gotta get off my duff and renew so I can access this handout. Thank you for another terrific webinar!

Pasted front and center on page 1 of my great-grandmother's scrapbook was an illustration of a strikingly beautiful woman in an ostrich-plumed hat. Who was she and why was she there? No name, no date, no newspaper. Tiny bits of the page not glued down enabled me to discover clues to the paper's likely date and possible location and allowed me to discover the identity of my mystery woman. This case study illustrates what to do with an unknown, undated clipping and how to determine its origins.

This webinar really exceeded my expectations. Gena’s presentation and delivery was great!
Very detailed and it just makes me want to “dig right in” to see what I can find. I am hoping to not have to buy the newspaper.com membership…but your suggestion of Publisher’s Extra may be the way I have to go.
Very good & great handout-thanks!
