Testimonials
"Thank you for your
splendid presentation on searching for German ancestors.
Many members commented to me after the program about how much they enjoyed
it. One lady even called me Sunday morning to say how much she
appreciated it. This lady had been ill for some time and has missed
several meetings but she made a special effort to come and hear you speak
and said she was very glad she did. She was grateful for the
amount of information and research guidance included in the
presentation." -- Program Chairman, San Diego Genealogical Society
"Thank you for your
most informative and helpful presentation. You certainly held the
attention of the audience and the many questions demonstrated how
involved the listeners had become in your subject. Last Saturday, I
was the volunteer on duty at the genealogy section at the Ventura Foster
Library. Several members were there using the Hinshaw volumes, which
most of us did not even know that we had. I found one of my Coleman
families and I thought they had been Baptists forever." -- Program Chairman, Ventura County Genealogical Society
"Thank You so much
for taking your time to come and speak at our seminar. Your class on
German Research was very well receivedand the comments very favorable."
--
Chairman, Genealogical Seminar, Hemet, California
"On behalf of OCCGS,
I would like to extend our thanks for your interesting, informative and
entertaining presentation on 'Researching in Germany.' Personally, I
enjoyed you very much and in observing our membership it was evident that
they did too. I am very glad my predecessor had the good taste to
schedule you." -- Program Chairman, Orange County California
Genealogical Society
"Thank you for your
participation as a speaker in our Family History Fair. We feel that
it was very successful and that this success was directly related to
the valuable classes given. We appreciate your willingness to share
your knowledge and skill in family history research." -- Chairman,
Family History Fair, Orange, California Family History Center
"Your presentation
to the society was well received by the members. The caveats in
"Uses and Misuse of the Census" made us realize that even Uncle
Sam's records can be either misleading or downright incorrect. May
favorable comments were heard, along with hopes that we shall be hearing
you speak again some day." -- Secretary, Questing Heirs Genealogical
Society
"Thank you for the
informative talk to our society on Research in New England and Atlantic
States."-- Secretary, South Bay Cities Genealogical Society
Special
Appreciation Award: "Presented to Leland Earl Pound for his
tireless work in gathering names, dates, stories and pictures of the
Hornbuckle Family and his unselfish sharing of all that he has discovered.
His work has created a link between our ancestors and us. -- Hornbuckle
