    30:07 This is my 2nd time seeing this video with Aimee Cross. Aimee is my newest fave on KZread. I discovered her just weeks or a couple months back. Please have her on again and again reviewing different aspects of GOLDIE MAY on FamilySearch, Ancestry. Aimee is super unique in that she doesn’t need over an hour to succinctly teach one to five points others speakers need over an hour to cover. AND she does it all with a smile in her voice, a fabulously easy to listen and understand speaking tone and volume -- even tho she speaks pretty darn fast! Suggestion, take a re-look yourself at this video - how many other guests has picked up as much as she does looking over your shoulder (so to speak) in so short of time, while explaining what and why she questioned it, what she’d do about it, explaining what was key, what could be, could not be, what she’d ignore, what to look for next based on…….. you probably get my point and I can just shut up! I’ve watched a couple dozen of your videos so far, enough to say your voice is consistently carries a smile and is great to learn from as well. I’ve been hearing great things about GM and wondering if I should start using my laptop for genealogy in order to use it. Honestly, because I’m weak, iPads, iPhone and Amazon Fire Tablets are my devices of choice because all are small and I can manage 3 screens at a time. Sitting at a desk with multiple monitors isn’t possible but Goldie May could entice me to see about using my 17” Touch Notebook pc. So far it’s just been my tax prep machine. Congrats, thanks and best wishes for Goldie May.

    Hi McAngus, thank you so much for your comment! I'll make sure Aimee see this as well! Thank you for the kind words to both of us. I'd love to have Aimee come back on the channel. I think I still have some homework to do from that episode with her, and then maybe I can convince her to join me again. If you try Goldie May, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. (My email address is at the bottom of every page of the app.) In particular, it's interesting to me that you can use up to 3 screens at a time. I'm curious how Goldie May might fit into this and complement what you're doing. Thanks again! It was wonderful to hear from you.

    Deeds can be indexed at the county, if you go directly to the Register of Deeds. But, of course, not all counties have their historical documents.
