I haven't been to NL for several years. So it was interesting to see what has changed or is new.
Very informative for me and I will use the Newberry Library now as a resource.
Had done some research 15 years ago at Newberry following up on work my father had begun on an aunt who was a beat cop in bughouse square. Things are way more organized today!
Too much time was spent on what I call "beginner" information and not about the Newberry
I had some trouble hearing the presentation. Overall good.
Please remind people to mute themselves.
Becky needed a headset with microphone for better sound. We should ask speakers to have this in case the sound is not adequate. Not sure if there is a way to boost wifi with people home. Land lines can work better when wifi iffy. I would like to have seen more a demo of the new website. I will check out the link in the handout for more info.
I did research at the Newberry Library quite a few years ago, so it was interesting to learn what they now have online. A good update.
Great speaker and topic, unfortunate tech issues
I don't have a webcam and at first listed thru the PC but when I wanted to respond I was not able to be heard when I dialed in on the phone.
Learned interesting things that I need to check out. Good participation for pre-meeting. Good sharing of information.
Found lots of new avenues for investigation
After this session, I'm anxious to check the Chicagoancestors site - early family events were published in German language papers in Iowa, so this could be a useful resource.
I wish the handouts followed more with the presentation.
I have researched at the Newberry before, so a lot of the presentation was review for me. That is reflected in my comment about the value to me.
Sandra Trapp of Naperville family history center sends emails. Her emails go to 100s of people including some out of state like me.
This was a wonderful presentation. Becky was great and I have already emailed a request for a lookup! I was born and raised in Chicago so I have to say "Go Cubs". I live in Colorado but, my heart will always be in Chicago! Thanks for letting outsiders watch your meetings/programs.
A guest, first meeting, internet

Thank you for planning, managing and presenting this meeting.
The weekly list of virtual presentations is FANTASTIC! I have signed up for quite a few of them that I would never have found on my own.Would it be possible for the date/time for a meeting be included in the subject line for the confirmation sent out for that meeting? It's a bit hard to keep track fo the confirmations without that info. Thanks!
I would like to hear Rachal Mills Lennon speak on the early records sources that were kept listing European and native people and the repositories that have them.
Thank you Howard for listing all the virtual meeting offered by other historical societies, genealogy societies and libraries for us to "attend" via internet. The variety is unbelievable and they have been so valuable. Plus with the pandemic, these have really filled up the free time at home. Thanks again for the Sunday updates.
Doing a great job
The effort by the society's board to keep NWSGS "relevant" during these challenging times is very appreciated!
The Zoom meetings have been a great resource for my research.
I learned about the meeting from an NWSGS email.
By accident, I got on the hour before part and found it interesting and helpful.
