About this webinar
DNA testing companies estimate the nature of your genetic relationships to DNA cousins based on the types, amounts and locations of shared DNA. Nevertheless, their estimations are typically quite broad. In this webinar, learn to analyze the DNA you share with genetic cousins to better estimate the nature of your relationships. Explore probabilities of relationship based on total shared DNA, number of segments, types of shared DNA, and relationships to multiple individuals. Navigate genetically equivalent relationships. Interpret shared DNA within the context of other available evidence. Evaluate proposed relationships and guard against the possibility of misattributed parentage or half relationships. Learn to better utilize genetic evidence in the exploration of family trees.

Yes, we do need to watch the webinar again even in 2022 but it really helped beginning to clarify this amazing pursuit. I resisted for several years. Doubt I will avoid it now. Thanks.
Fantastic!\n\nFantastic! Covered the advanced basics that everyone always skips over!\n\nGlad to see more detail behind DNA results\n\nGood presentation. This stuff is very heavy, particularly the genetic equivalency. I have not seen that before and need to study it. I hope there are references to it in the syllabus. \n\ngood session. some of it over my head\n\nGood speaker, and presentation was very thorough.\n\ngood webinar for my current level of understanding. pointed to some resources I didn't know about (e.g. Catherine Ball et al. white paper).\n\ngreat as usual\n\nGreat presentation and speaker! A lot to take in and will need to definitely keep watching Paul's webinar. Thank you! : )\n\nGreat webinar! Love Paul's slides, they make everything easier to understand.\n\nGreat webinar. \n\nGreat, but I need to understand more about DNA. But this was good. Each time, the new words make a little more sense. \n\nGREAT... Clear... Yes we will rewatch... Need some explanation on X matching chart to help evaluate whether a match is on the maternal or paternal side. Thank you. \n\nHe took a complicated topic and made it mostly understandable. It will take viewing it again and working his examples to really understand, but he provided those for us. Thank you!\n\nI am adopted and know nothing about my ancestors so I'm definately a beginner, however I did pick up some information. Some of the charts were difficult to read, a little small. Thank you, I enjoyed it. \n\nI am just beginning with DNA education. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.\n\nI got a little lost at times but overall this webinar opens up a number of possibilities for me.\n\nI have been studying DNA and this presentation has really helped me understand so much more of what I've run across. Thank you!\n\nI need more practical experience with DNA to better understand Paul's excellent presentation. I need to work through the Bettinger series to be more conversant in DNA analysis. Paul was excellent but the problem was me. Appreciate so much at least having this exposure.\n\nI need to better understand it. The instructor did an amazing job....I just need to absorb the information\n\nI'm a bit past Beginner, so it was a nice review and learn/understand a bit more. Paul Woodbury is easily understood. Thank you.\n\ninformative info \n\nIt was a definite watch again! Lots to absorb!\n\nIt was clearly explained!\n\nIt was very well presented\n\nI've taken several DNA classes and watched many webinars and find this is the clearest explanation yet of all the basics one needs to understand.\n\nLearned alot, slightly overwhelming but it will be great to watch it and take notes literally later! Thank you!\n\nLots of good information, but maybe a little too much for a single webinar, hence not quite a top rating. I'd like to hear more about the joint probabilities concept in particular. Excellent presenter.\n\nNeed to watch again but did pick up useful info on first attendance. Excellent explanations of very cM\n\ncomplicated material. Thank you Paul for this very important webinar. \n\nneed to watch again!\n\nNice, clear explanations.
One of the best DNA webminar or presentation I attended! Thank's\n\nOne of the best! Thank you!\n\nOutstanding presentation with much to absorb so for sure needs to be reviewed - good to see others are slow learners as well;-))))\n\nPaul is a fantastic lecturer. He sure knows DNA!!!\n\nPaul is very knowledgeable on the topic. Got some good tips today.\n\nPaul was amazing. I really appreciate such knowledgeable presenters willing to share.\n\nPaul was excellent as usual. \n\nPaul, Thank you for your excellent webinar content and delivery!\n\nPaul's webinar was excellent. I've watched other Legacy Webinars on DNA and attended conference sessions by Blaine and others, read the major DNA books (currently the new Advanced one) and blogs, and participate in Blaine's Facebook Group, Genetic Genealogy Tips and Techniques, and my local society's DNA Interest Group, but I learned and better understand a number of the scientific aspects of DNA that I didn't earlier. I manage lots of DNA kits and will be applying what I learned to this work. Many thanks!\n\nStill more advanced for me, but I am beginning to understand more about dna and this webinar was great. I liked his questions and answers to figure it out ourselves. Thanks :)\n\nThank you Paul!\n\nThank you very much. This was very helpful in getting some understanding of DNA and how it works. Also appreciated the practice questions. Paul, the presenter, was excellent, organized and informative and communicated clearly and well. Thank you again. \n\nThank you! Great webinar, one of the best I've seen on DNA and greatly helps with the basics and research. Will purchase a copy of this one. \n\nThank you! Paul is always wonderful!\n\nThe presentation was advanced - beyond my ability to absorb. However, every time I hear a talk about DNA, I pick up a little new information.\n\nThis is one to come back to again and again!\n\nVERY advanced!\n\nVery detailed need to view again. So much information\n\nVery fast-paced, so I'll definitely need to watch this again. I picked up several helpful tips such as use of DNA Painter and DNA generations.\n\nVery good, loads of information, good detail\n\nVery helpful explanations. Thank you, Paul.\n\nVery informative\n\nVery informative. I am 80 and will have to watch over again but what I could retain on first time sight was excellent!\n\nVery informative. I plan to watch it again. (I have a subscription.)\n\nThank you.\n\nVery informative. Helped to clarify some issues I didn't think about.\n\nVery interesting review of what DNA can tell us when doing genetic research\n\nVery knowledgeable speaker, thank you very much!\n\nVery knowledgeable.\n\nVery nice to get some confirmation on some assumptions I had made on my own and wasn't able to find the literature on not knowing the correct vocabulary to use in searching for my answers but I would have liked more information in the webinar in differentiating the chromosome matches re using the dna painter to map out \nones genome for future matching purposes v/v those without trees or those who do not answer their emails. Over all and excellent webinar.\n\nVery technical but introduced some new ways of thinking of autosomal DNA matches.\n\nWas imformative\n\nWell done and give me several new questions to ask as I explore my segments\n\nWell done, but needs to be viewed again after attempting some of the exercises and tools introduced.\n\nWell-organized, well-paced.\n\nWOW!!!\n\nWow, excellent webinar,and yes,requires repeated hours!! Great syllabus too.
I learned more about Evaluating DNA than I knew before the webinar or additional information about things I had not quite got my head wrapped around yet. Thank You \n\nA lot over my head, but it starts me to want to know more.\n\nA lot to digest, for sure. Well pesented.\n\nA superb webinar. I really appreciated the level - it made me think and that is what learning is all about. Re-listening is a must. Keep it up. \n\nAbsolutely one of DNA classes that I have attended. Thank you, Paul!\n\nActually, I'd give it a 100!\n\nAdvance DNA video but well worth it to watch again\n\nAdvanced but I got a lot of info...\n\nAwesome!\n\nBest DNA webinar I have seen so far. Will need to watch again.\n\nBut I will need to watch it again!!\n\nChallenging, well presented- I like the exercises. Well organized and articulate. Thank you.\n\nDefinately an intermediate/advanced webinar. Well presented.\n\nEasy to understand (most of it). Great webinar.\n\nEnjoyed getting the practice questions\n\nExcellent\n\nExcellent - think I'm finally understanding some of the DNA terms and workings.\n\nExcellent !\n\nExcellent clarification of what you can learn from shared DNA and how to analyze the shared DNA in a consistent way to get the most information from your matches \n\nExcellent content - the use of exercises to do on your own is a good idea. \n\nExcellent delivery and organization. \n\nExcellent discussion. Really liked the practice question aspect.\n\nExcellent DNA information. A different approach on looking at it. Thank you Paul Woodbury!\n\nExcellent EXCEPT I am not at that level of expertise yet. GREAT facts and skills to be learned. He was well organized and easy to follow. Great idea to have example 'problems' to solve to demonstrate his points. Excellent use of voice and speed of presentation.\n\nExcellent information and excellent syllabus. Gives me a lot to review and learn! Thank you!\n\nExcellent organization. I can tell that an instructional designer developed it (I'm one, as well). \n\nExcellent presentation although a bit over my head. However that now challenges me to learn more as I come from an endogamous ancestry and have been challenged to figure out dna relationships. Paul's presentation has given me a few tools to help with this challenge.\n\nExcellent presentation and syllabus! I hope you will invite Mr. Woodbury to do future webinars.\n\nExcellent presentation and syllabus. Adding the practice examples was very helpful. I've already recommended the webinar on Facebook. \n\nExcellent presentation.\n\nExcellent speaker - I need to hear it again and again.\n\nExcellent webinar! Very detailed level of DNA information. Paul explained thoroughly several DNA concepts I had not understood correctly prior to this webinar. Very much worth the time to watch / listen. Excellent syllabus. I appreciate very much Paul’s style of teaching. I am so appreciative of the many DNA webinars in the library and so thankful I am a member!\n\nExcellent webinar, can't wait to watch it a couple more times.\n\nExcellent! A lot of high level information but presented in a way that even a beginner could learn and take away value from the presentation. Thank you.\n\nEXCELLENT! He made DNA understandable! Please have Paul come back for more!!\n\nExcellent!!\n\nExcellent, I learned so many things.\n\nExcellent. Like a lot of comments said, I need to view this again! Thank you\n\nExcellent. Quite comprehensive, but clear\n\nexcellent. will definitely need to re watch this a couple of times.\n\nExcellently presented at a level I can understand. Now I need to read the syllabus.
