I enjoyed the webinar and found it very informative.
I have a lot of searching ahead of me
I have used many of the resources noted and have solved problems by doing so. I learned of a couple of new ones here that I’ll be using. Thanks!
I look forward to someday when there will be a similar webinar on Ireland
i think her speed was perfect. not too slow, yay!
Interesting topic
interesting, good tips
Interesting. My family is one big brick wall but perhaps this will help. Fraternal organizations in particular might be a source o=for finding downland of origin back in Ireland of my grandmother’s Cousin Jimmy. My 100-yer-old mom is all that’s left of her small family and has shared as much as she could with me, but my grandmother’s mother died young, new stepmother chucked my grandmother out, leaving Nana so sad that she spoke almost never about her mom. All I had to go on was a 1.5 obit c 1912.
It seemed very helpful. However my ancestors arrived in the late 1600’s to early 1700’s. Not much help to those earlier arrivals.
Learned a few new resources that I was not aware of, enjoyed the presentation.
Lisa always does a great job! Great information! Thanks!
Lisa Alzo always does a great presentation.
Lisa Alzo puts together great webinars. I will be looking for the town of origin in Germany for my paternal great-grandparents, and maybe this time I will find it. Thank you.
Lisa does such a thorough job preparing her webinars. I never thought about researching fraternal records until Lisa included this resource in today’s webinar.
Lisa gave at great presentation as usual. Loved the 10 page handout, lots of helpful information. Thank you! : )
Lisa introduced me to some document types that I had never considered.
Lisa is a great speaker.
Lisa is always a delight. One cannot help but learn somethin new every time. Thank you , Lisa
Lisa is always a wealth of information. My father’s ancestors came from villages near her ancestors so it’s always helpful for the Czech/Slovak info.
Lisa is an outstanding speaker. I always learn so much from her webinars.
Lisa is very knowledgeable and I always learn something new from her. She is an excellent presenter!
Thanks for making today’s webinar available free to an appreciable audience.
Lisa provided lots of good resources that will come in handy in my research. Thank you very much!

Love Lisa’s courses, webinars, etc.!!! Thanks for offering this webinar! 🙂
Love when you have graphics for examples
My problem is from relatives in the 1700s and early 1800s – wish there had been more discussion about that. Thanks!
Of general interest even though I don’t have an interest in that area of the world.
One of the best.
Outstanding presentation, well-paced with logical and clearly explained categories. Thank you!
Presentation was excellent. The handout is superb.
professional
She had several places to look that I hadn’t thought of, which I appreciate.
she is so knowledgeable
She is the most informative and interesting genealogist on the planet!!! Gotta luv her.
She seems very knowledgeably about eastern European records – not my research area but general tips always useful.
So good!! Great ideas.
So much information, so little time!
So much wonderful information!

Such an important research aid to find the place of origin in order to do homeland research.

Thank you for the webinar, it was very informative.
Thank you so much for the very useful information!
Thanks Lisa!
The handouts are very addition to the toolbox, thank you for the in-depth information provided.
The speaker was wonderful.
The webinar has given me new thoughts to take another look at my German ancestor who came in 1767 into Philadelphia. One ancestor arrived in 1639 and I may never know for sure. I always say if a webinar helps you find one more clue it was worth it. The presenter was very organized and knowledgeable. I am glad I took the time to attend. I look forward to attending more webinars in 2021.
The webinar title did not flag that the content would be primarily Eastern European. Not my area of research, but still some helpful suggestions.
The webinar was great.
This was a GREAT webinar!! Thanks so much for all of the information!
This was a very informative webinar. LOTS of good information and resources which I appreciate and can’t wait to use.

Useful, but I still don’t know any place of origin other than German.

Very good resources

Very good. Thank you!
Very good—amazing syllabus–10pg of goodies!
Very helpful tips but mostly of value if researching ancestors who came in the 19th and 20th centuries. Not much help finding place of origin of those who came in the 18th century as mine did when records are scarce.
Very helpful, good reminders to broaden our searches.
Very helpful. Could really use more specific instruction on Lithuania. I find Slovakia is much easier to research than Lithuania.
