A beautiful webinar. I regret that Poland does not have such rich collections and archives – the result of historical invasions from all parts of Europe and Asia
Always great, excellent presenter.
Always happy when I learn something new/ Thanks
Awesome webinar! Sunny does a wonderful job. I’ve done a lot of LDS ancestor research, but learned lots more from this. Thanks!
Awesome…so much information!!
Brilliant webinar which will help me to find out much more information about my wife’s relatives who were early foundling members of the LDS Church.
Clarified some of my dilemmas working with records.
Easily understood Disappointing to not be able to get syllabus without being a member but grateful to have learned some.
Enjoyable
Even if not LDS good church record and search ideas. Also like the hashtag hint from Geoff.

Fascinating. I have an ancestor who was an Elder, so I will have to see what I can dig up on him!
good tips on resources
Great information for members of the church
Great program – I’m not part of the church, but still picked up some pointers. Much appreciated.
Great.
Helpful introduction to the LDS ancestor search
I am not a member but I have many ancestors who were and come to Utah via the Overland Trail. Looking forward to looking at the missionary info and the info for those of Welsh decent. Thanks, Sunny.
I am not a member of the LDS church but I had ancestors who were and I lived directly on the Mormon Trail. Fascinating presentation. Thank you so much!
I had to join late due to bad storms here. The part i heard/saw was excellent. I look forward to watching the whole thing soon. Many thanks.
I have loads of Mennonite family members and I learned about a couple ways to search for their records. Mennonite library is just coming on the internet. Thank goodness, no more phone calls
I have used the LDS website quite a few times over the last few years. but after tonight I will be able to use it more extensively because of the good information that was given this evening,
Insightful
It was interesting and lots of websites that I can research. I wish they addressed the Reorganized Church of LDS relationships but I know that may have been off topic and they didn’t want to address those records.
Life long member-many pioneer ancestors. I was aware of and have researched some of these records, but learned a lot today. Wonderfully presented, Sunny.
Sunny – thanks for your fantastic informative presentation!
Sunny always does a great job!
