Maureen,
I just wanted to thank you again for your program last night at the Woodbridge Public Library. You spoke with great passion about your family and your quest and then proceeded to explain the strategies anyone can use if they wish to find information on their ancestors. The audience was enthusiastic and inspired.
I booked this program and attended without any driving interest in genealogy. I wanted you to know that I have now begun thinking of ways to begin a search for my family!
All the best,
Jean
