Great!
I always appreciate the good information.
I am just starting researching my husband’s family and they are from the Prussian partition of Poland. Having to mentally switch from Galician records in Polish and Latin to Fraktur and German has been daunting. This was so helpful — and timely…
I appreciated all the different sources for research, and tips.
I have been researching for many years. This is the best webinar I have attended in ages. Very useful targeted information. Thank you!
I liked her voice, and the speed which was not too fast. I may be contacting Nancy to do some research on my grandfather’s background in Pommern.
I really enjoyed this presentation on Researching Ancestral Locations in Prussian Genealogy Records and am looking forward to trying out the links. Thank you!
I think this was challenging subject matter, but Nancy did a tremendous job. Good webinar.
When mentioning different kinds of German script please show samples eg.Fractur.
I’m glad she has her e-mail & newsletter

My German (Prussian) GGPs are my problem children so now have a bit more info to use to find out about them.
Nancy has a way of making things sound easy and her handouts are outstanding!
Outstanding presentation. Loved it.
outstanding
Overwhelming amount of good info!
really comprehensive & informative
Really good webinar as she shows the difference between Prussia and how it could be German and could be Polish and how sometimes the records overlap. When the records overlap, you don’t have to be so afraid that you will not find what you are looking for because it expands the number of places to look–what a relief! The webinar put a lot of things together in the same place.
Really great presentation! Nancy took a huge subject and distilled the most important information without going off on the many tangents possible in this area 😉
She had a wealth of information. It was very informative.
So helpful.
So much info great work Thanks

Starting German research is a little overwhelming and this helped with good places to start and what kinds of things I will find and probably saved me lots of time in learning curve the hard way. Thank you.
