   Love getting taught by Blaine. He is one of my favorite presenters, and this explanation of Chromosome Mapping was excellent. Thanks Blaine.\n\nLove those light-bulb moments! Thanks!\n\nLoved the advanced level of utilizing DNA\n\nMakes use of those black spaces that I never thought about before. Thanks, Blaine.\n\nmind blown! great info...keep it coming!\n\nMost helpful webinar on DNA I've ever watched. Can't wait to test my sister!!\n\nMy mind was blown! Blaine Bettinger makes a complicated process feel so simple! He gives me hope that I can use my DNA matches to figure out my great grandmother's side of my family tree!\n\nNever a disappointment with Blaine Bettinger!\n\nNew advanced technique, well explained by Blaine.\n\nNow I have a name for something I've been doing for a long time. I'm a very logical person though so I figured it out on my own.\n\nOne of the best !\n\nOne of the best on Genetic Genealogy I've seen, ever. So glad I'll be able to view it again, as a (long time) Legacy Webinar subscriber. Thanks to both Legacy Webinars and Blaine T Bettinger.\n\nOne of the best webminar I had here yet! Thanks to Blaine!\n\nOrganized, logical and to the point. I was waiting for someone to explain relationships and mapping your grandparents dan using your siblings. Thank you Blaine"\n\nOutstanding session!!!\n\nOutstanding!!\n\nOutstanding!!!!!\n\nReally enjoy Blaine's presentations.\n\nReally enjoyed this, thank you!\n\nReally nice to remember to watch one live. This year is my 3rd year for membership. It is such a benefit- I cant always make a conference - but I can learn new things with the webinars.\n\nReceived valuable information for my research. Thank you!\n\nSimple - not to broad a subject like some are. I could understand the concept as it was explained in detail.\n\nSimple and easy to understand. Thanks!\n\nSimple, clear, concise explanation of deductive mapping with two examples... loved it!\n\nSo clear. Blaine made a difficult subject easy to understand.\n\nSo pleased I was on holidays and could view very useful.\n\nSo well done. Even tho' I haven't spent a lot of time on chromosome mapping, Blaine did such a good job explaining his deductive mapping, that I was able to understand it easily. Thank you!\n\nSpeaker kept his presentation simple and too the point.\n\nStupendous presentation-clear and concise!\n\nSuccinct, concise, and clear!

Can't wait to start mapping deductively!!\n\nThanks Blaine. Awesome webinar - very clear. You make a complex topic understandable. Thanks Legacy for providing these webinars!\n\nThe concept of deductive chromosome mapping finally makes sense to me. Thank you, Blaine B!\n\nThis is amazing stuff! And Blaine, as always, explained it so well.\n\nThis was a lightbulb moment for me!\n\nThis was a very good intro to deductive chromosome mapping. I would like to know applications of how to use this info and also to know if you can use the info to expand/broaden beyond one generation? Thanks!\n\nThis was great!\n\nThis was great. Very clear and informative.\n\nThis webinar may help me to finally differentiate dna between my deceased parents that I was unable to test. As usual, Blaine has demystyfied DNA so a lay person can better understand. Thanks Blaine and thank you Legacy Webinars for continuing to bring great educational programs for better research techniques. \n\nThis webinar was very enlightening and informative. Very, very helpful in comparing sibling & cousin DNA differences. Blaine explained the process in a way that was easy to comprehend.\n\ntop notch\n\nunbelievable good!\n\nUnfortunately came in just at the end--looking forward to the replay tomorrow!

   GREAT INFO!\n\nGreat info! I wish he showed a parent for deductive mapping!\n\nGreat information...easy to understand.\n\nGreat lecture and so easy to understand. Thank you. \n\ngreat material\n\nGreat presentation. Presented in a way that was easy to understand.\n\nGreat slides.\n\nGreat topic. The speaker was very detailed so that everyone would understand the process.\n\nGreat webinar as always. Thanks for organising Geoff. \n\nGreat!\n\nHe explained it very well.\n\nHe really does good explanations so I learn more and more about DNA.\n\nHis presentation made me want to try the DNA printer program and also use the Deductive mapping with cousins to find out more information about our shared grandfather.\n\nI always enjoy Blaine's talks and explanations about DNA!\n\nI always learn a ton from Blaine's lectures, but I have to say that this one tonight really blew my mind! I'm so excited to get my siblings tested and try this methodology out! Thank you -\n\nI always learn something new from Blaine!\n\nI couldn't stay for the whole webinar, but what I heard was great! Thanks for making it available at a good time for us in Australia.\n\nI don't think of myself as an advanced dna user but decided to take the webinar anyway in hopes I might pick up something. Mr. Bettinger explained the process so systematically and logically, I'm excited to get started on my own chromosone painting. \n\nI enjoyed the webinar and it clarified mapping. Thank you so much.\n\nI feel like I discovered another piece to a puzzle. Great job of explaining it.\n\nI had to stop watching after about half an hour, but the webinar looks like just what I need to help me maximize what I can learn from having tested other family members. I'm looking forward to finishing the webinar once it's in the archives. Thank you, Blaine!\n\nI know now that I need more relatives to do their DNA to check for matches and differences.\n\nI learn a little more with every webinar. DNA and chromosomes are hard for me to grasp.\n\nI missed a few minutes in the beginning, but overall very good! Thank you, Lisa\n\nI really enjoyed the examples showing application of using this Deductive Chromosome Mapping technique. Thanks!\n\nI watched knowing that I, as an only child with no living parents or first cousins that will test, would not be able to use this technique. However, I GET it- and maybe I'll be able to help others in my genealogy group use it. Blaine is always an excellent presenter- he knows how to break a subject down and keep adding just a bit more so you really can understand. By the end, a complex topic is now understandable. \n\nI would give it a higher rating if possible. Excellent!\n\nI'd rate him a 10 if I could! \n\nI'm actually just still starting with DNA, but I still learned a lot in terms of the windows that DNA mapping can open. Fabulous class - everything so thoroughly explained that even I grasped the concepts! Thank you!\n\nIn-depth, knowledgeable, with lots of presentation materials to break it down which made it comprehensible.\n\nInteresting info and presented very well.\n\nIs there any way I can give this webinar a rating of 10?\n\nIt is interesting that for DNA Painter, Jonny says not to use siblings; however, that is exactly what you need for this type of chromosome mapping. Very interesting to think there is often more information than we know right in front of us.\n\nIt is time-consuming to state things clearly, but glad Blaine does it that way. \n\nIt makes perfect sense what Blaine explained. I’ve worked with DNA painter a bit but am unsure on how it will move my search for ancestors forward\n\nIt was a very good presentation and Blaine explains it so well. The suggestion to draw it out will help to prevent confusion. I'm eager to try this!\n\nIt was great to have a webinar on advanced DNA techniques.\n\nIt was great. Can't wait to try what was taught!\n\nIt was indeed a light bulb moment. Thanks, Blaine.\n\nIt was very helpful to me. The description could have mentioned that it is useful only when you are certain of the relationship of the match.\n\nI've done Visual Phasing so this was great to see how to actually use the Deductive process. I've thought I could do it but now know how to do it properly. Thanks Blaine for another exremely well explained and clearly demonstrated process to add to my DNA kit!\n\nI've had a eureka moment or two during this webinar. Blaine at his finest. \n\nI've heard the concept, but it was a good visual to help with the explanation.\n\njust great, thank you\n\nLooking forward to more DNA webinars on the Advanced Level!\n\nLots more to learn

My sister has also tested (Ancestry) and I will have to get her to upload to GEDmatch so I can try this out. Thank you!\n\nFascinating. Look forward to trying out the new learning. Thank you.\n\nFor an "Advanced" webinar there was a lot of basic training\n\nGlad to see the complete focus on deductive mapping -- Michelle included it in her talk (as inferred mapping) and did a good job on it, but it really needed a fully dedicated webinar -- if I am not mistaken, Louis Kessler (who won best innovation at RootsTech a few years ago) was the "inventor" of this\n\nGood audio, well presented\n\nGreat info so far but this is more advanced than my knowledge right now.
