    Jonny - Your presentation was absolutely brilliant, as always! I can recommend it to others who are just starting out with DNA Painter. It was a great refresher for me too! Thrilled to hear that you are continuing to tweak WATO too. Thanks for all you do!\n\nQuestion - You mentioned you did a presentation in 2020 about determining the bio-father of 2 brothers. I searched your site but couldn't identify the presentation. Do you have a URL to that presentation?

      Hi Colleen. This was my previous WATO presentation here on FamilyTreeWebinars (http://44.204.202.82/webinar/what-are-the-odds-an-online-tool-that-can-help-solve-dna-puzzles/). To be clear, I talked about trying to determine which brother was which, but was not able to do so since neither brother left any other known descendants!

    Thank you, Johnny, your webinar was easy to understand and very helpful. You gave lots of ideas for how to handle my own DNA but also my best fried's DNA.

    Johnny Pearl is an excellent teacher. He was able to simplify and give the basics on DNA Painter. Maybe I'll have the courage to try it!
