About this webinar
According to the genealogical proof standard, part of pursuing thoroughly exhaustive research is seeking the best available evidence to address a research question. In genetic genealogy research problems, the evidence we use is the test results of living descendants of a research subject, and pursuing the best evidence requires targeted testing of those whose DNA is most likely to help address the research question. In this session, learn to identify, prioritize and invite the best testing candidates to address a research question.

A huge amount of useful information was presented clearly and succinctly. It was easy to follow and I'm eager to work with the methodology.
Excellent webinar , thanks. My understanding has Improved greatly I believe. Hopefully in the very near future I’ll be getting back into doing my genealogy. Thanks again for the use of the webinars.
Another EXCELLENT webinar by an expert presenting complicated DNA concepts with clear, concise, and most importantly, practical methodologies. I always, always learn from Paul, even in beginning or intermediate webinars because he uses great visual aids to work from the basics through the practical applications. I got just what I needed...confirmation that I'm understanding DNA basics, but can further apply the methods on my own.
Paul always does a good job - great explanation and great handout!
Paul Woodbury is a fantastic lecturer. He is easily understood in spite of having such a complicated topic; he makes it understandable. Thank you!
A very detailed and well-explained presentation. The only thing I would add is that it may have been better to make it into two parts, two webinars. The syllabus is very helpful. I found it hard to keep up (while taking a few notes) otherwise, so I appreciate the detailed syllabus for this webinar.
Great Webinar. So many techniques to pursue. Thanks
Excellent webinar- as you can expect from Paul it is highly organized with ample illustrations. The best understanding of how to make use of DNA with the Proof Standards but it is so much more than that! This is a webinar you will want to bookmark to watch over and over, learning more each time.
