Very well done. Looking forward to the next talk.
This was fantastic! I have not yet begun real research in Buckinghamshire records but now I have a better idea where to begin once I am ready.
Very informative
The speaker is very well spoken and knowledgeable. This has been the best webinar I’ve attended, and that says a great deal.

I very much appreciate that you provided a great overview of researching in English counties and administrative jurisdictions, including extensive advice about resources and repositories and how best to utilize them to aid in our research. Geoff, I’ve waited a long time for such a series. Mia, thanks again!
