Validated what I was doing, gave hints and tips for brick walls.
Over all enjoyable and educational. I am interested in any other studies that may be available on family history.

For the price of this course I was expecting more depth, rather than having a lot of introductory information. However I’ve only watched 3-4 sessions...I will say I really enjoy her lessons and looking forward to gleaning some helpful information about research in UK.

After muddling around for years I restarted from scratch. This course has opened my eyes to different search methods and where to look.
I highly recommend this course if you are just starting your Genealogy journey, or you use it as I did to expand your knowledge. There is always something you will learn with this sometimes frustrating hobby.
Thanks, Rosamunde for this informative course.
