Brilliant webinar packed full of important information for those tracing their family ancestral members from Puerto Rico. It is a must watch again to get the most from this presentation. Also the Handout and Chat log will provide further information to compliment the speakers presentation.
So much I didn't know and where to look for records. Puerto Rico records have been so difficult for me to find and then they are in Spanish. I wish I would have taken that language and not French.
So glad you had this class. I told my friend about it. He is from Puerto Rico and he was going to watch. I am sure he did.
Loved it. Firstimer. Learned a good deal that’s useful. Thanks for so much info in a short time.
very thorough--i sincerely hope you can find someone to do one on genetic genealogy in PR soon, too!! it's SO hard!!
Excellent coverage of places to look for information in both the U.S, and in Puerto Rico and wonderful resources provided. Loved it!
Great!
Expected most on PR records and sources, not US. Helping a friend with her PR ancestry and this webinar (the PR history and records part) was VERY helpful. Big thank you, Barb.
