Thank you for providing an interesting course, Genealogy Online. You suggested early in the course that I may have been a little too advanced for it. In some respects that is true but the course increased my knowledge of where to look for information, places that I wouldn\\'t have thought of looking. For example: I followed up your recommendations for overseas/link newspapers. I am also grateful for your pointers towards electronic publications and also to the course, Writing Family History. My database programme is The Master Genealogist; while it is great for keeping records, its Report formats and others similar that I have accessed, were not what I wanted. I had a little store of family anecdotes that I wanted to be passed on in our family; Writing Family History will let me do that.
