Loads of info about stuff I never even knew about and I am not a beginner at either Genealogy nor the DNA aspects. As usual, this was an amazing Webinar. Thanks as always.\n\nGreat - thank you! And more webinars based on a single tool per webinar would be even better :)\n\nGreat content. The Presenter was awesome and well informed on the subject of DNA.

Just wish my brain was a little speedier.....lol.\n\nI enjoyed thoroughly and won a door prize....please let me know how to retrieve my DNA test? \n\nI have only dipped a toe into DNA-genealogy, so this was pretty much beyond my current knowledge, but I learned about things to look for as I learn. p.s. Love listening to her!\n\nI learned a lot but will watch the recording again,\n\nI learned about 3rd party tools which I had never heard about.

The webinar was well done even if it was over my head in many places. Thank you!\n\nI would like to be able to plug into Michelle's brain and do a download. She knows her stuff!!\n\nIncredible!!!! SO much information! Bring her back for more webinars.

Anyway, excellent seminar but the proof of how valuable it is to me personally is to go and try out some of these things. Michelle has encouraged me to venture outside my comfort zone in DNA and see what I can put together. I have lots of DNA matches but am having a "challenge" in putting things together. Now, I have a path to follow. Thank you, Michelle.\n\nMichelle definitely shared her passion and expertise on a fascinatingly difficult subject.
