Caught this on the replay. Very interesting, thank you!
Lots to think about!
Exceptional presentation! The information and resources were excellent, but the writing samples were outstanding! Recommend this webinar to anyone doing family history research.
Thanks for this presentation. I found it useful and intent to explore using some of the techniques in my own writing.
I found the information about how to use social history very interesting as I've just been doing that to show some family history to cousins.
Very descriptive and succinct information, easy steps to follow. Practical advice!
I enjoyed this webinar on historical fiction and social history. Figuring out how to weave the possible into the facts to add flavor and context is definitely a weak area for me. Listening to another genealogists process is very helpful in trying to figure out what my successful process will look like.
I learned so much information today that I will use in the future. I am not a professional genealogist but you made this webinar comfortable for those of us who are not. So many books I want to read that you presented. Thank you for an excellent delivery and presentation. Well worth the time.
