Great webinar. Thanks.
I am finally starting to understand the numbering system used in an unpublished genealogy written by my father in the 1940s
I have encountered a variety of formats and this webinar went a long way in recognizing which system is which.
I liked how each step of each numbering system was reiterated in different situations. I believe repetition is key to learning these systems.
I missed part of it but it was fantastic! I will catch the beginning as I have a Legacy subscription.
I never had the numbering explained before. Thanks
I realise I have a lot to learn 🙂
I really appreciate how she gave the information and then immediately showed it with the case study family. It made the concepts much clearer!
Interesting and well presented
It covered almost every situation I could think of.
It was very well organized and put together.
Made a difficult system understandable.
Not the fun stuff but very informative. I appreciate her going through the basics and simplifying the process.
Not the most riveting subject but very important. The presenter did an excellent job explaining this complicated subject.

Outstanding presentation of a deadly boring topic. And yes, I understood the methodology presented by the speaker. Brava!
