A good reminder of where to look for those elusive resources!
A nice overview on finding manuscripts. Maybe there should be a webinar on the manuscripts themselves – what are they, what’s in them, how to decide which are important to one’s research, limitations and pitfalls, etc.
A+ so so helpful. Thanks a million Paula, so appreiate your help. God bless.
Absolutely wonderful

Another good one! I have been amazed on the few occasions when I’ve found something from one of these sources. Now I’m off to look for something new, say my elusive Great Grandfather & his family.

I did not realize how much cool stuff was out there. Appreciate this roadmap to the sources to find it.
I have heard her speak before and always love her info even if sometimes it’s a refresher course – thanks to everyone who hosted and presented these free webinars for us!
I really enjoyed this webinar. I learned about new sites to do research and/or visit to see what is available. The speaker was well versed in the subject matter. She was very enthusiastic about the subject and shared her preferences and expounded on their contents. I have more places and better ways to research for my elusive family members. Thank you, Paula, for your enthusiasm and for sharing some of your favorite research sites with us. One never finishes with genealogy because there is so much to find!!
I really learned a lot–good details on how to access & what might be there. I’ve heard about the Special Collections at our University but somehow, it didn’t inspire me enough to follow up. Now I’ll go there & others! It gives me hope on some brick walls of intriguing ancestors of mine. Thanks!
I wish she or someone would talk about find things on farmers. It seems all my family were farmers.
I would like to thank everyone involved in this wonderful and inspiring webinar series! It’s great to learn from our living. Goodbye from Alberta.
I’ll never catch up -the marathon was beyond genealogy!
I’m so excited to start checking and find new treasures in places I never thought about! Thank you for the superb presentation!

Paula Stuart Warren is such a wealth of information. So glad you finished up the marathon with someone like her. Fantastic.

Thank you everyone for this awesome 24-hour gift of all these presentations. I’m sooooo inspired to stay up all night and overload my mobile hotspot link which is all I have in the rural area where I live for the internet, but I might try. Ha! Go get some rest now and have a great weekend.
Paula’s presentation was fantastic as usual! Thank you! And…thank you Geoff, Daniel & Marion! Great job!
Paula’s webinar was fantastic — so many archives, so little time…
Presented with a lot of enthusiasm. A lot of great information.
Repositories are something I don’t know much about. There are so many in so many new places.
She had some great ideas that are often overlooked. I enjoyed her energy.
so appreciative of the time and effort from everyone involved in the marathon. You deserve a good rest (once the videos are up haha). Looking forward to seeing some of these again. Cheers from Dunedin New Zealand
So helpful! Can’t wait to get searching!
So many good ideas that apply to researchers just about anywhere. Thank you.
So many good ideas! EXCELLENT PAULA!
So many great ideas for places to hunt for ancestors!
So many new sources of discovery, on line digital and hard copy repositories, libraries, University collections and family collections and where housed. This lady is so enthusiastic about her work but covers such a huge section of everything family, business, political and historical and ideas on where to look and what you may find in other locations away from the area you are researching. Fantastic podcast.
So much information! Wow!
So much new information!
So much wonderful info! Looking forward to watching it again. Glad I am a member.

Such wonderful ideas!!-
Super star researcher!
Superb Seven – can’t wait to get back into the archives.

Terrific presentation!
Terrific. What a great way to finish off the marathon! I definitely have more confidence to go digging around for manuscript collection now. Thank you so much!
thank you
Thank you for all of this helpful information. I use WorldCat, but almost everything else was new to me. Sometimes the pacing was either too slow or too fast, but other than that this was very good and I definitely appreciate all of this knowledge-sharing!
Thank you for all the information. I am looking forward to traveling in the hopefully near future.
Thank you for showing me what can be found by taking the time to look. Thank you to organizers for all your behind the scene work — it did make a difference just as you do with all webinars.

Thanks for the new resources to check into.
Thanks so much for a wonderful presentation by Paula Stuart-Warren. As other attendees have said, I want to start searching to see what might be available about my family.

This was definitely for the advanced researcher. Something to aspire to. Thanks.
