   I have taken other workshops on DNA and this was by far the best! Thank you.\n\nI learned some valuable things even though I have a little more experience than a beginner. Thanks for this great class.\n\nI now understand a lot more. I look forward to more webinars such as this. Thank you.\n\nI’m not even working on DNA yet but found this to be very informative!\n\nI'm a genetic genealogy newbie, and have been reading and watching several webinars on the topic since getting my results. Debra's was the best presentation so far to clarify and help me understand how to navigate this new field! She was concise, precise, had very good visuals, and suggestions on how to proceed with several of my brick wall challenges. Hope you'll have her on again! Thanks!\n\nIncredibly clear and helpful. Thanks a lot\n\nIt was a lot on information given today. But, we now have many sources to visit.. Enjoyed the webinar. Thank you.\n\nIt was good, just more basic than what I needed but it was done well.\n\nIt was very helpful.\n\nIt was very well done. I'm not a beginner, so I didn't find it as helpful, thought.\n\nlearned a lot thanks again\n\nLearned a lot about dna and the different types, and how matches can be made or shown. Well done.\n\nLots more to learn about using DNS information.\n\nLots of great information but graphics speak louder than words. The slides were word heavy. \n\nLove beginner webinars!\n\nLoved the slides--so organized!! Nice refresher with new bits of information--thank you!!\n\nMy rating is only based on my current knowledge. I was hoping for more information on organizing the data.\n\nOne of the best webinars yet! Debra Renard explains basic DNA in a manner that is easy to understand.\n\nOutstanding material, well presented. My aging ears had problems at times with the presenters diction/enunciation. The topic was well chosen and presented. I wish I had heard/seen this webinar when I first started my DNA efforts. \n\nOUTSTANDING! I learned so much. It's starting to all make sense. \n\nReally great explanation.\n\nReally helpful to hear the basics and comparisons. Thank you.\n\nShe covered a lot of good thoughts for not only beginners. Thanks!\n\nShe did a fabulous job of explaining. I've been working with it for a while now and not much was really new, but it's a little clearer now. I also really appreciate how sensible and practical she comes across. Sadly, most of my vertical options are gone, so I'll need to take a look at some 2nd cousins.\n\nSo helpful to make a difficult subject (for me) much clearer. I shall redo this webinar again and again. THANKS\n\nSuperb explanations\n\nThank you for the clear and detailed differences in these DNA tests and how they can be used to solve genealogy problems.
