The recording of todays eye-opening webinar, The Homestead Act of 1862 by Thomas MacEntee is now online for free for a limited time at FamilyTreeWebinars. A few comments from our viewers: A lot of good info on land records and where to find them. Thanks Thomas Acres of useful information. Always like MacEntee for his thorough data, organized presentation and, in the odd event that he doesnt know, he actually says, I dont know! Another great learning opportunity! Thank you Legacy Family Tree and Thomas MacIntee for providing this very informative program! As usual Thomas MacEntee was great. I wish he was my neighbor. Easy to follow what is a very complicated topic. Excellent information, handout and happy for actual websites to view as Thomas spoke. Excellent speaker and great presentation with lots of new & useful information for searching in otherwise overlooked areas. Excellent speaker! I learned a lot that I did not previously know about the Homestead Act. Excellent webinar. I have little need for this particular batch of info, although I always learn more about what is found where at these webinars! Excellent helpful handout, as well. Another wonderful Wednesday. Thanks so much. Fantastic, as always. My to-do list keeps growing from all the leads in Webinar Wednesdays. Geoff & Thomas what a team!!!!!!!!!!! Great handout, loads of information and a new place to search for me! Great info for a new adventure into my research! Am always delighted with Thomas presentations---organized, knowledgeable, & always good hints!!! Thanks for another great WW, my favorite day... Great webinar! Made me realize I might have a homesteading collateral relative (farmed in Nebraska) -- cant wait to investigate further! I agree....GOLDMINE... thanks so much!! I knew a little about the Homestead Act, but learned so much more from this Webinar. Great job! Thank you! Learned lots of stuff I did not know before--like others there will be plenty to do in the coming weeks on this topic. Once again, a great webinar and so very informative. Having the syllabus sheets are also such a welcome help. Thanks once again for your hard work. Knowledge is Power. One of the best Ive attended. I have wanted to understand this in more details for years! Thanks. Phenomenal class. Learned so much. Reformative webinar. I have a better understanding of the homesteads. Thank you for the wonderful Webinar!!! I will now develop a new direction in my interest in genealogy research. This is valuable information. It explains why so many ancestors disappeared from Canada. Also explains why one fought in the Civil War in the US. Another avenue I have to pursue. Great presentation. Thomas does such a great job of presenting complex info in a well organized easy to understand fashion. Thanks also for all the great web links and book recommendations. Thomas is always great. He is very concise and clear in his directions. This webinar explains several reasons of why I have not been able to find homestead records. Thank you, thank you.. Thomas MacEntee - the greatest. Thanks for sharing the wonderful information. Thomas MacEntee is always a great presenter....terrific information, so much that Ill have to view again....couldnt take notes fast enough!!!! ;) Thomas was excellent, as always. I dont think I have any Homestead Act relatives, but still very informative and nice to know in case it ever comes up in my research. Glad that Mr. MacEntee is always ready and on call for webinars. Thomas webinars are always informative and his choice of subjects cover areas most genealogists never think of ...until theyve heard his webinar. Thanks! Very interesting. I already printed copies of the patents for 5 relatives. Easy to follow. Thank you. Will need to plow through the handouts again and re-listen to the webinar, but what I learned from my first time through this topic was amazing. Thanks so much for pulling it all together for us. Im a beginner in the research for land records, so anything I learned is so much more than I knew before today.
