   Terrific. All I have hoped it would be. Wonderful coverage of lots of features. My mapping last year of 3 siblings created a wide open door to solving an NPE mystery from 2 centuries ago that was documented in the courts without proofs...now the proofs that are easy to share with other descendants."\nThank you for allowing me to see this. I had already figured out most of this (I was a math teacher). There is an easy way to determine which side of the family a DNA match belongs to - at least on Ancestry- Check the common matches. If you know one or two people and which side they belong to you can check for common matches.\n\nThank you for an excellent webinar and clearly explained concepts\n\nthank you for the explanation of DNA Painter. will give it another go!\n\nThank you Jonny for an informative presentation.\n\nThank you!\n\nThank you, Jonny\n\nThanks so much!! Well presented and understandable. We had been looking forward to learn how to paint. Will definitely watch it again to pick up on anything we might have missed and more understanding. Thanks again!\n\nThe explanations were very clear. I have used DNA Painter a lot but learned new things. Thanks to Jonny\n\nThe webinar helped me understand Chrom Painter much better. Thanks.\n\nThe webinar was well-presented and gave me some insight into the DNA mapping process and also helped me to know that there didn't seem to be a significant purpose for me to pursue mapping.\n\nThere are some clever people around. And it is so good that we can share their ideas.\n\nThink he was doing a good job with tough subject, just way too complicated for me as I am a long-time researcher and thought I was pretty advanced on DNA but I am obviously NOT!! Thanks though for providing us all these opportunities to hear/see the free webinars. Love ya' for them.\n\nThis was amazing. Very high quality presentation.\n\nThis was good info and Jonny was a great presenter. However, although I've done an autosomal DNA test, I just don't think I'm ready to take on DNA Painter yet.\n\nThis was one of your best webinars ever! Clear concise explanations of a very complex subject: DNA chromosome mapping. What a great tool. Thank you Jonny Perl\n\ntop notch\n\nTruly enjoyed this webinar, ready to paint my relatives with DNA results.\n\nVery Absorbing so much to learn Thanks\n\nVery clear\n\nVery clear performance but it sounds easier than it actually is. Thank you\n\nVery clear presentation about the use of the website. Will there be another presentation about using the tools. I am helping my 90-year-old aunt find her biological parents. She has many ore close matches on Ancestry. Johnny told me to use What are the Odds. I could use some help with that. These people don't seem to be on any other site.\n\nvery clearly presented - loved it\n\nVery detailed, something I am really going to have to work on.\n\nVery easy to understand presentation, As far as clarity of words, and not too fast at all. The easy to understand part refers to that clarity. As for DNAPainter, I will need to learn more, and will refer back to the webinar as I paint other matches. If that makes sense, Thank you!

I want to say to Johnny, you were so easy to understand. Your explanation to DNA painter was fantastic. I will make errors.

One of the best and I have been watching for years.

The seminar has encouraged me to go ahead and try it!\n\nIncreased a New interest in DNA\n\nInteresting.\n\nIt got a little complicated and/or he went too quickly over the more complicated bits but, in general, it was very good. He's a good presenter, so I hope he does more of these.\n\nIt was a well-organized presentation, presented in a direct and understandable manner.\n\nIt was amazing. \n\nIt was slightly over my head for my current DNA knowledge but I hope that it will add to my DNA knowledge. I will try to use the DNA Painter tool now.

I am very grateful and hope to use DNA Painter to not only find the identity of my mother’s father but then to help others with their search to identify unknown parentage.\n\nJonny Perl was excellent and each time I learn more about DNA. However I think it will take a few more webinars to get me up to speed. Thank you.\n\nJonny Perl's presentations are always clear, concise and extremely helpful. I learn "new stuff" every time I listen to or read something from him. He's an excellent resource for the genealogy community.
