Great Scottish webinar! It's sometimes hard, in genealogy research, to slow down, and discipline yourself to verify the next step is correct, before moving forward. I appreciate the guidance to not get ahead of ourselves, in travel or searching online, to find the right sources, and only then excitedly dive in. Thanks again for a wonderful presentation!
Interesting to me as my DNA suggests I have many Scottish, but was complicated enough so that I would have to review the session.
This session was way above my "pay grade" :) I have not begun my Scotland research yet but it gave me ideas of where to begin after I find my ancestors town locations. Thanks!
Well presented. Lots of information clearly explained.
Excellent organization & presentation. I have ancestors who were elders & church staff. At least 3 generations of men.
Hi Sara I have only gone as far as my great grandparents McEwan, was a soldier paternal Grand Mother lived in a little house in a small village, dont have the name of village.
Thanks very much - most informative!
I joined late, but was able to gain useful information
