I loved that she didn't just read to us, but expected us to work along side of her. It made me understand what I would be looking for even though I still can not read the old German script.

Absolutely Excellent. Loved it all and I am not even researching German lines. I especially liked the little review test at the end. I do believe I learned a few things. Thank you.

Will there be a recording of this webinar for us to listen to again during the next week? I would like to take more complete notes - so useful to help glean information from the vital records of birth, marriage, and death!
