Organize Your Genealogy: Get Your Research in Order (and Keep It That Way)
|
Praise for this Class “This class was exactly what I needed right now. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!” — Kim A. “Her comments made my week — I looked forward to hearing what she thought. I loved that she would give me (and others) tips on how she did things, like sharing the system she has for scanning documents. I’ll always try something new if I know it’s working for someone — especially Nancy Hendrickson! I know she has a couple of books out and writes articles for the magazine, so she has to really balance her time. If it works for her, I’ll listen!” “Nancy’s comments were thoughtful. I felt as if she were giving me the same attention that I would have received had we been sitting together in a classroom.” “I got more info than I ever expected, I’m actually excited about my filing system, and there are so many classes that you offer that I want to take. I’ll probably have ended up taking all of them at some point in my life! My next class will definately be the Digital Photo class with Nancy. I wanted to take some time establishing a routine with my filing before I got into that huge pile of photos!” |
