    Found Cyndi’s “Nurturing…. webinar very interesting and informative and so full of ideas with options available. Was especially interested in personal computer and/or laptop genealogy as opposed to “publishing” or on-line genealogy.

    Good, enthusiastic speaker. Personally, I found the topic very broad and too basic. But I think it would be extremely good for someone at a beginner level.

    Got a few helpful hints. I had already formulated similar opinions about functionality and such. Good webinar. Maybe more helpful for newer users or someone just getting started.

    Got me thinking.

    great tips

    Great webinar

    Great webinar!

    Great!

    Great.

    Heaps of wonderful new resources 🙂

    Her seminar was excellent for someone fairly new to genealogy. I am a medium to advanced user so did not learn much new.

    How could I not give Cyndi a BIG 5! She works so hard for us and is also very giving and generous with her time and material. I would listen to any of her presentations and take her advice any day.

    I always enjoy Cyndi, she is a very engaging speaker with a lot of experience to impart.

    I always get more than I expect. Thaks again.

    I always learn several new, interesting, and helpful techniques and tips from each of Cyndi Ingle’s excellent presentations!

    I always learn so much in Cyndi’s webinars.

    i always learn something new from Cyndi. Love anything she presents.

    I am a newbie to this kind of thing. I have decisions to make. Very informed presenter.

    I definitely need to listen to this one again — and again — and again.

    I enjoyed having a practical comparison of the software

    I found it very interesting and helped me understand some other options.

    I found the webinar to be very thorough. She covered things that I was thinking about and made me think about things that I was planning to do more . I would also like to say that I like the ease you have with signing in to your webinars. I also like how you speak and let me know that I am in the right place by saying that it will start soon and you also have the count down timer.

    I learned a lot today, even though I’ve been doing Genealogy research for a number of years. Thanks Cyndi! Your webinar was excellent!

    I learned so many things I didn’t know before.

    I learned so much that has never occurred to me before. This is my 4th Webinar, and I just purchased a subscription so I don’t have to take so many notes and screenshots.

    I liked her organization and the repetition that helped me catch things better.

    I loved Cyndi’s questions for figuring out what purpose you have for your family tree — which then illuminates what kind of program you will need for your tree.

    I missed most of it because of time. But I did enjoyh the ending questions, and I’ll watch this webinar soon.

    I missed the first part, my fault so I will watch it tomorrow or go through the library. Excellent info on saving your online records–I’ve always wanted to know the answer.

    I really enjoyed this webinar, my first with Cyndi. It was very informative and just what I needed at this time. what she said at the end is what I am currently going through. I am trying to organize my filing system and get a better understanding so I can better access/store my research etc.

    I really like how Cyndi presents the topic and her syllabus. Overall the presentation was a little more basic than I expected.

    I thought it funny that back”blaze” was involved with smoking computer. ha!

    Informative. Easy pace. Easy listening. Good slides.

    Inspirational, easily understood! Thank you so much!

    It was awesome, Cyndi Ingle is a Genealogical Rock Star!! Wow Factor!!

    joined late, but what I heard was very informative, especially the snap and sketch tool.

    Just figured out that when I back out FTM it does not back up all my media. I’ll be fixing that tomorrow, Thanks so much

    Just reinforced what I always tell people: keep control of your own records and don’t rely on some agency in the cloud, or you’ll be sorry.

    Learned a number of things. I love best practices…

    Learned even more than I thought I would. Thanks!

    Learned some things, was reminded of others and now I need to get to work combing my trees!

    Loads of helpful info. Thanks Cyndi!

    Very interesting and clearly presented. Made me think about WHY I do things the way I do, and perhaps what I can do to improve my work-flow and access and present to others the information I have gathered. Also gave me a push to look at my back-up system (far from ideal!) and how I can improve that. Thanks Cyndi!

    WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you so much! Cyndi’s handout makes everything so clear. And the chart on the very last page is fantastic. I LOVED her tips at the end.
