    Thank you very much for making your resources accessible to all of us.

    The smartest librarian on the web!

    There was a wealth of sources to further my research on my german families.

    This gave me some new ideas about where to look for the information I have not found.

    This was one of the best webinars I’ve attended. I have several 1709 Palatine ancestors and am searching for specific places where they lived in SW Germany. This webinar gave me new resources to explore.

    Until now I’ve just accepted info on my Palatine ancestors from a few published books, but now I’m encouraged to look for more details on them. And it’s put me into the right mood for a banquet tonight of the Kingston & District Branch
    of the United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada – because many of the Loyalists, including my Palatine ancestor David Dulmage, took the British side in the American Revolution and came to what would become Canada as UE Loyalists in
    1783.

    Very clear and thorough

    Very clearly articulated and presented.

    Very good info, especially on the websites outside the U.S. I didn’t save the chatlog soon enough and am hoping I can still get back to it.

    I really loved the maps, and the content is super helpful.

    I want to take a vacation at Luana’s house and use her library! I have learned so much that I want to dig in to the resources Luana shared right now. Luana provided a great syllabus and her presentation was awesome. Thank you, Luana, and

    Luana is always excellent and stretches me to do more research!

    Luanna is so knowledgeable and this was so full of information that I will have to watch again to get it all — even with the syllabus.

    Thank you for including the NY Palatines. Usually these webinars only reference the PA palatines. Would like to hear more about the NC palatines, I think I have a few of those in the mix.

    Great presenter and sources! Thanks.

    I especially liked the concept of creating my own Palatine or German source checklist to use. Thanks for all the resources!

    I have Swiss to Palatine Mennonites ancestors, so this was very applicable for me! I have looked at the Albert Gerbach book at FHLs in the past, so was absolutely delighted to hear it can now be accessed online. Luana is a very smart
    lady. Thanks for bringing this knowledge to us.

    I joined the webinar at the last minute in response to an email notification never expecting to see my Chester to Juniata Counties in PA ancestor, Zachariah Rice/Reis, used as an example.
