Take a trip with spreadsheets to the lands of your ancestors. Learn how spreadsheets can help as you learn to read foreign language newspapers. Use spreadsheets as a translation tool for your ancestors' vital and religious records. Create a spreadsheet to track your ancestors and those great ethnic or locality websites – when you find a new ancestor or a new website you’ll be ready to dive in. Create a spreadsheet to connect your DNA matches, and another to chart those matches for publication.

She needs more time. Wonderful information and examples
So glad I can go back and review!!! so much to learn

So much great info! I seem to enjoy learning about how to *do* genealogy research as much as the research itself, it seems. It’s a problem…HaHa.
So much information … Thanks !!

This webinar was jam packed with great hints.
Tons of good tips and great syllibi!
too much information for one hour but loved it!!!
Very clear and helpful ideas! I already knew excel and I already knew German, so this was all about how I can use excel to solve the same type of problems I have in my family Tree! THANK YOU!
very creative ideas
Very detailed and I learned some items I have never seen before. Thanks
Very good information on the various uses of Excel. Learned how to use Excel more than I do now. Will go back and view the 3 previous webinars she has done. Thank you for this webinar. I greatly look forward to the others.

WOW
Wow. That was incredible. One of the best. Thanks a lot for the fabulous tips.
I was proficient in Excel, in fact I have been using Excel for nearly 12 years (but haven’t used the full capabilities of Excel for last last 5 years, and the knowledge I gain today was unbelievable. I can’t wait to build some genealogy spreadsheets. Thanks for a great webinar!
I’d like to give Mary a ’10’ for this webinar. I really like using Excel for genealogical research. Mary’s examples (Berlin city directory, German baptism register) are very useful since my relatives are from there. Example 6 for using a spreadsheet to help translate foreign language registers was EXCELLENT! Looking forward to Spreadsheets 501!
I’m nearly expert with Excel and I think Roddy presented very advance tips in a clear, concise manner. I think even those who were not ready for 401 level still acquired some useful tips, and learned to appreciate what an outstanding tool spreadsheets are.
Incredible!
Information overload — but, oh, how handy!
Information was exactly what I am looking for. Will probably listen to it again to better utilize the info. Thank you!!

I definitely need to take advantage of webinars with more basic spreadsheet explanations and then come back and revisit this one. I was impressed with all that she can do but at this point it all just boggles my mind!
I do not use Excel – I use a free version – but this website pointed out some things that I could use and will now see if my free version will do. Thank you.
I learned a lot, very informative.
I need more instruction in excel to really understand what she said and did but I like the idea
I need to do 101, 102, 103. This was beyond my skill level.
I need to go back to see the other webinars from Mary Roddy
I need to start with spreadsheets 101.
I started using computer spreadsheets in 1980 with Visicalc on an Apple. I count myself as an accomplished spreadsheet user. However, I learned so much in this webinar that will benefit me in my daily use of spreadsheets, it is
invaluable to me. Congratulations. It is also impressive that she just learned this week about one of the tips she used. Great job!
Thank you.
A lot of info was packed into this webinar. Not just spreadsheet info, but also deciphering German church registers and how to find and add fonts for German script. Very interesting!
A lot of interesting information touching on possible future webinars.

A must re-watch. Picked full of information and tips.

Absolutely wonderful webinar!!! Will need to watch this, and its predecessors, at least one more time, as there is just so much good information in it.
