    Mr. MacEntee’s presentation was well-organized. He provided concrete examples of the kind of research he conducted and present rationale for keeping research logs.

    I appreciate very much that he shares his templates with budding genealogists. Thank you for allow the opportunity to participate in this Webinar.

    Need copy of Thomas’ excel tools!

    organization is a great thing.

    Reminded me to get more organized before I search! Post-it notes aren’t as useful as using a proper Research Log and To-Do list!! Great to hear about Thomas’s templates again! I’ve got out of the habit of using them… [shame and guilt] 🙂

    So informative and helpful. I am a visual learner, so to see Thomas’s actual set up was very helpful. I love the Toolbox idea, and can’t wait to set one up! Thank you!

    Thank you for teaching me how to name documents. I only have about a thousand to do.

    Thanks Thomas. FYI I’ve added a ‘timeline’ tab to each person’s research log – a nice quick visual to see what their life is. Great session. Thanks

    Thomas always does a great job teaching.

    Thomas is always very informative.

    Thomas never disappoints!!

    Thomas’ presentations are always great! Thank you! : )

    Thomas was great as usual. Good ideas on organization and a good reminder to maintain focus and not get sidetracked.

    Very good information. I am certainly going to make use of it.

    Very informative

    Wonderful

    He’s always very practical and methodical. I’m working on finding a process that works well for me.

    I always enjoy listening to Thomas. He willingly shares information that is helpful. Love the idea of building a free Weebly website that contains the genealogy resources that I regularly use.

    I am trying to improve my research methodology. This webinar has given me a lot to improve on. Thank you.

    I got some great ideas on organizing my research.

    I love Thomas anyway, he has just basics covered for us beginners that also relate to those more qualified, I noticed the question raised that in this style of webinar we couldn’t hear the audience question and I’m sure you will try and work that out! More please!!

    It contained many good tips and ideas.

    Lot of good information and new ideas for improving my research habits.

    Love Thomas MacEntee!!
