Our Listeners Talk to Us
Michael discusses his big descendancy research project and has traced thousands of descendants for only several of eight brothers. Our listeners are encouraged to email us to share suggestions and to discuss their own similar projects. Sara commented on research logs and timeline software we discussed on 3 December 2019. She hasn’t found the right research logs for her work. Suggestions from listeners are welcome for us to share with her. Tom is looking for a DNA researcher to analyze his wife’s matches. He is looking for her father from ca. 1925 in Reno, Nevada. Anonymous is a younger member of a genealogical society. She and a few others have suggested virtual seminars/webinars but the proposition has fallen on deaf ears. She is seeking suggestions for how to move the society forward and to develop and sustain it.The Genealogy Guys are available for webinars using Zoom, a simple-to-use online video meeting tool that handles up to 100 people logged in at a time. Our catalog of Genealogy Topics is available at https://ahaseminars.com/ along with information about Genealogy Webinars. Contact us to schedule a webinar for your society.
