    I am in the middle of my KDP and this really helped show where I may have holes to fill.

    I am not planning to get certified, but I like Angie’s suggestion to use the KDP format to write about ancestors even without going for certification. I may well consider doing that in the future, especially for the lines that had never been documented before I started doing my own research.

    I loved this one! It was clearly and fully presented with real examples. The explanations were precise and complete. It was engaging and inspired me to get back to writing about my family.

    Angela has given me confidence that I can do the KDP. This webinar has demistified this for me.

    Extremely thorough overview of the Kinship Determination Project. How to create such a document, and how to use it, whether for certification or just for one’s family.
