Jim E.

Barry,

Thank you so much - you have given me hope in finding the Gust's in Prussia. Before your classes I didn't have any idea where to turn and was about to take a trip to Germany blindly on a hope and a prayer. Now I will be MUCH more prepared before I go and hopefully find direction - be able to narrow the area down of my search before I leave. You are making such a difference in many lifes - of those of us here on earth and those who have passed on. I have lost both my parents now and have a great desire to preserve both my husbands and my family history (our history)... and now I feel renewed and ready to discover!

Joan G.

Barry,

Thank you most sincerely for the perspective, tools, and inspiration you gave. I now approach family much more as a historian and less as an occasional searcher for names.

LeNell H.

Barry,

Thank you so much for a wonderful, motivating week. I can do this!!...if I can get your filing system up and running. :) Loved the class on "Google", and most importantly the concept, it's NOT about a name. Can hardly wait to get to know my ancestors and their families. . I want to get this right, and your classes have given me the reference I need on how to accomplish this saving work.

Jodi H.

Barry,

Thank you for the wonderful class. I learned a lot and have 'caught the bug'!

break thru this barrier. Thank you again.

Frances C.

Barry,

I really enjoyed your classes and can't express enough how thankful I am for the information you are giving us. So many people are stingy with the knowledge that they gain but you have been more than generous with imparting your time and talents. Thank you. I especially liked what you said about how doing your family history is just your part, your stewardship, in helping the Savior and Heavenly Father to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. I feel more confident in doing my family history and also in serving in my calling as our ward's family history consultant.
