What Does the Audience Say?

I just discovered Leslie Collier . . . she is Very Good!

Will you do our seminar again next year?

I sat through a week and didn't understand, but you explained it in an hour!

Wish everyone had handouts like Leslie.

I just thought I'd been doing genealogy all this time. I'd only been collecting names!

She's practical. She told me 'how-to' and made a difference.

Explains methods better than anyone!

Enthusiastic, alive, funny . . . .

Leslie has been a speaker for us twice before. She is a wonderful speaker. Everyone from newbies to long-time genealogists have learned from her. We have all enjoyed listening to her.
