In your unraveling Geoff's Nathan Brown ancestors, can you estimate the percentage of such original docs vs online resources - my guess most were not on the internet. Not too long ago most of the info needed would NOT have been on the internet. In this specific search, how much help was the internet? Educated guess is all I'm looking for as each case will be different but my paternal search for Whidden/Whitten is in New England, too: NH, ME, MA and NS in Canada.<br /><br />Needless to say since my maternal search is in Finland, I'm stuck to only using the internet, unless I can cultivate a Finlander willing to do some travel/searching there. <br /><br />Thanks for a great webinar - I'm getting the CD as there was too much to glean in one pass.<br /><br />Cheers, Ray <br />Edmonton AB CanadaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06362004629170933547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-58322131500868456522011-11-01T03:28:46.604-04:002011-11-01T03:28:46.604-04:00Marian,

As well, DNA provided a level of certainty that confirmed the paper trail and that was exciting.<br /><br />Cheers, RayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06362004629170933547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-92110927942969897252011-07-14T16:52:13.514-04:002011-07-14T16:52:13.514-04:00Without the changes technology brought to genealog...Without the changes technology brought to genealogy, I doubt I'd be as engaged.Sassy Jane Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037957512577108722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-7747624879412443642011-07-14T14:38:45.995-04:002011-07-14T14:38:45.995-04:00Congratulations for it being picked up by The Amer...Congratulations for it being picked up by The American Library Association.FranEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727917499152200255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-47085750074248409322011-07-08T12:08:14.414-04:002011-07-08T12:08:14.414-04:00I totally agree with your top 3 choices.

I love the scanned original images and ALWAYS learn something new in an on line class or Webinar!Nancy A.

It is a difficult and very time consuming program, but oh so worth it!!
