    Excellent presentation. I have researched some of the Southern Claim Commision Records before, and now I know a whole lot more about them.

    Not only was this a wonderful demonstration for a record set of which I have vague knowledge and included excellent methodology technique suggestions, but Ms. Gillins is a personable speaker and inspiring instructor!
