Nicka provided a deeper insight into records research that will allow me to "drill down" more deeply into a more targeted approach to research that has stymied me for years! Way to go, Nicka!!
I wish I could give Nicki a 10! Her enthusiasm shines through and I love listening to her. Thank you for another wonderful learning experience.
Nicka is always so enthusiastic and informative in her presentations. She makes the webinars so enjoyable to listen to while proving so much useful information for us all to use. Her laughter is infectious and warms the heart:) I can't wait until her next one!
I LOVE Nicka's webinars. She is a wonderful and fun presenter. I always learn a ton and gain more links and resources to add to my research guides.
Niki was so informative, she gave me research info I never thought about. I was fortunate enough to buy my home in the very neighborhood my grandparents were born and raised in, but I could only go so far back when checking with the local Genealogy Society. I'm a member of My Heritage so I'll be checking the different catalogs she mentioned including the Freedmen's Bureau.
Nicka is so energetic, down-to-earth and knowledgeable! I feel privileged to be present when she shares her genealogy skills and findings with us! Thank you Nicka and many thanks to Legacy Family Tree Webinars for such awesome, affordable programming and services!
I now fully understand how "surface-level" my research has been. Yes, Nicka was ruined my weekend (by encouraging me to go deeper).
She made the topic so interesting! I'll certainly be busy this week-end.
