About this webinar
Ever stared at your DNA match list and felt that mix of excitement and dread? There you are, faced with hundreds of genetic cousins, each one holding a piece of your story – but let's be honest, most of us have no clue what to do with all these mysterious relatives. In this straight-to-the-point lecture, we're going beyond the basics of building a DNA Network to tackle the real question that keeps genealogists up at night: "Now that I have all these matches, how do I actually use them?" We'll show you how to transform that overwhelming list into a strategic research tool, navigate the sometimes-murky waters of relationship predictions, and harness practical tools like WATO and BanyanDNA to unlock the family secrets hidden in your genetic code. Fair warning: once you learn to read the stories in your DNA matches, your family tree will never look the same again.

It's been a few years since I last heard Diahan speak but she's still among the best in the business. Very helpful. Thanks!
Great information on what to do with all those DNA matches
Excellent webinar, very helpful
Thank you so much for offering what might be considered an advanced DNA seminar. I know it's not of interest to perhaps a wide range of interests but for those who are interested, it's SO worthwhile.
I have taken many of your courses from the free ones to the Endogamy and WATO course. There are always good nuggets that help put the pieces together for these complex topics, and I am inspired to tackle DNA mysteries again. When I do start to tackle the DNA mysteries, I always run into gotchas, either with the tools or the DNA content, that I don't fully understand so it is a little intimidating and requires dedicated practice.
a lot of information, but fairly clearly presented
Went too quickly at times. But, get to watch it again, so I guess that doesn't matter a lot. Too much like an add for The DNA Project. I get that there is a lot available there, and definitely should be mentioned as a source. But I want to learn from *this* webinar, not learn about what I could learn from The DNA Project.
excellent.
