I absolutely love meaty presentation handouts. I always check the handout (if available) in advance of a program or webinar. This gives me a good idea of what the speaker will cover, and helps me consider what questions I might have about applying the content to my own genealogy challenges. Then I save the handout in a digital folder, in case I want to refer to it in the future. This happens from time to time, as I realize I need a hint from some program in the past.
This year I will again not be at RootsTech and so I created a playlist of online sessions to watch, sometimes live but usually at my own pace and at my convenience.
However, some interesting presentations are NOT going to be available online, as shown in the excerpt above.
Adina's handout includes multiple links to search and for background on various US ports of entry, categorized by port. Plus she has links to Canadian border crossings to the US, another way immigrants entered the country. Added to her detailed explanations of how and why to search, make Adina's handout a must-save for me, one of dozens of handouts I'm perusing this week.
If you're #NotAtRootsTech, be sure to check sessions that will not be recorded--and download relevant handouts for future use.
