Interesting presentation packed with good research tips and history
THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!! Nicka's enthusiasm shines through. Absolutely exciting to watch her work the sources. Thank you!
I have met and talked to Nicka a number of times and listened to her during several genealogy classes. She has always been informative and open to any questions regardless of how simple the question was. Yes, she needs to publish a book outside of her 800-page family history. Thank you Nicka.

Webinar was like time-travel, 160 to 196 years back in time!
I loved the stories in this case study. I loved hearing the thought process throughout the journey of uncovering the stories. I appreciated the addition sources that I was not aware of. I'm planning on going back through the Legacy Family Tree library to listen to more from Nicka Smith!
The case studies are a perfect way to assist in researching the former enslaved.
Excellent as usual, Question: What are the certificate numbers in the freedmen bureau?
Amazing webinar! Using case studies, Nicka showed us records we might find and how to analyze the information they contain to help find our ancestors, particularly African Americans.
