Great culture and history lesson. LGBTQ family members are family members and must be researched and remembered as such. Thank you.
Good presentation. An interesting perspective on a topic which is rarely addressed.
This was an excellent webinar. I learned so much and it inspires me to go back and look through my research again. Well done and many thanks to Mr. Leclerc!
Michael provided invaluable guidance on conducting LGBTQ+ ancestral research with sensitivity and respect. His presentation was particularly helpful for my work in probate cases and heir determination, offering practical strategies for understanding and documenting family relationships accurately. The methodologies he shared will improve how I approach research for both personal and professional genealogy projects.
I found this webinar more interesting than I expected. I hadn’t considered that it might be possible to identify people long dead as potentially gay. Or that legally it was OK for women to be gay – one of the few instances in the past when being a women was an advantage.
Nice to see a topic so seldom presented and presented well! Thank you.
I have several LGBTQ+ people in my family tree and appreciate knowing the history. The explanation of not dead naming a trans person without their permission was very insightful. This is hard for genealogists to understand and deal with in the records and our family trees. Michael, thank you for your honesty.
I appreciate the tips given on researching LGBTQ ancestors as some of them I have not thought of before. This was an informative and refreshing discussion. Thank you for covering this topic as it has not been discussed often within mainstream genealogy research.
