About this webinar
Working your mother's mother's mother's line. We will work a case study of how adoption was disproven in this family from the dark recesses of Appalachia. We will follow the maternal line of a family from the mountains of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, to solve this family mystery.

Great presentation.\nUsually listening to someones detailed family history is a bit like someone showing their holiday photos. could be good but probably like watching paint dry... :) However, in this case it was a great story told, great achievements but realistic in its results. reminded me of the BBC version of "Who do you think you are?". Twists and turns, so much rolled into one inspiring story. A story that you remember. One of the best.
So much new information about mtDNA - I'm just overwhelmed.\n\nSuch a good presenter. A delight to listen to! Explains things very well.\n\nTerrific, as always. I can't wait for it to be available to watch again. I want my husband to hear the story of Mag's grandmother for himself - instead of me trying to tell it!!!\n\nThank you!\n\nThanks for mtDNA talk. Cleared up some things. Wil join big mtDNA / Million Mito group.\n\nthanks Mags another great presentation\n\nThe story and the mtDNA science/project information were informative and enjoyable. Thanks for both!\n\nThis is actually a 10+ thank you so much\n\nThis is one of the best webinar's I've watched. Thank you\n\nThis my first time listening Mags Gaulden and I was very impressed with her presentation. She made it easy to understand the topic of mtDNA projects by using examples from her family. I look forward to watching her next presentation.\n\nThis was really interesting!\n\nTwo thing. 1. I love a story about an ancestor or ancestors to entice my grandchildren to be interested in genealogy. I have set out to write a story about my MtDNA's journey. This webinar has reenforced the idea of a story. Thank you. 2. I have hit a brick wall with my 5th great grandmother. So guess I'm doing a MtDNA. Thank you again. This webinar was timely.\n\nVery clear explanations and good use of resources.\n\nVery good and very informative. She did a great job explaining without having to have a science degree. I have been out of the DNA loop for a while and a great seminar to start again. Good story teller.\n\nvery informative!\n\nVery informative.\n\nVery inspiring! Even if not talking so much about how a 3 distance may be closer in time than a 1 distance match\n\nvery interesting\n\nVery interesting !!!\n\nvery interesting and good.\n\nVery interesting and lots of useful information.\n\nVery interesting but too complicated for me to undertake.\n\nVery interesting information\n\nVery interesting!\n\nVery interesting, it gave me a lot to think about when approaching my mtDNA test\n\nVery interesting, will listen to it again.\n\nVery interesting.\n\nVery interesting. Unfortunately I learned that mtDNA won't solve one of my questions, because my great-great-grandfather would not have passed his mother's mtDNA down to me. But I'm going to use that neat chart Geoff showed, to see if I can find someone who will.\n\nvery knowledgeable presenter\n\nVery rich in information particularly on DNA analysis.\n\nvery thorough\n\nVery well built presentation and including the personal stories. Keep bringing such webinars from many presenters so I can finally get the set correctly. Thank you Legacy\n\nWell done!\n\nWell done!\n\nWhat a great way to learn about how to use Mitochondrial DNA. Terrific!\n\nwill be very helpful.Thanks\n\nWonderful & very interesting presentation! Thank you Mags & Geoff! : )\n\nWonderful presentation. I've got to watch again and purchase a test.\n\nWow! This was so interesting. Great webinar!
I need to do some more work with my mtDNA results!\n\nI will have to watch again. A lot to learn here.\n\nI'm a little confused but this webinar opened my eyes to do testing I should do.\n\nInformative! Thanks!\n\ninspiring!\n\nInteresting but I didn't get an explanation that I think I could analyze my own mtDNA results. Still very enjoyable.\n\nInteresting story. Lots I hadn "t thought about before\n\nInteresting!\n\nInteresting, but way over my head.\n\nInteresting, lively speakers who cares about family.\n\nInteresting. I wish we could find out the rest of the story.\n\nIntriguing story. And I didn't know about the Maternal DNA Projects on Wiki Tree.\n\nIt help me to more understand mtDNA\n\nIt was interesting. Glad I joined.\n\nIt was neat getting to see Geoff for the first time...he's a great host. Enjoyed Mags' presentation.\n\nIt's true - this was one of the best delivered webinars I have watch! Thank you' Mags! I have been using FullmtDNA for some years but now I have some new ideas to use. My H5b1 ends with the unknown mother of my Rhode Island b. 1685-ish ancestor. And thank you Legacy Family Tree Webinars for bringing us such excellent information through these webinars.\n\nLooking forward to implementing ideas that Mags gave. Wonderful webinar. \n\nLots of good info. Like "case study" type of presentation. So much that I will need to go back and re-watch. Thanks\n\nLove how Mags wove her grandmother's story into a complicated topic so I could understand it better.\n\nLOVED it some over my head, some stuck in my head, some made me go hmmm oh now I get it ... thank you\n\nMaggs is a wonderful speaker and storyteller. I’m going to go back and watch her other webinars.\n\nMags explains everything so well! \n\nMags Gaulden is a pleasure to listen to and learn from. \n\nMags is a good story teller. Not an easy subject to master. mtDNA matching is not used as much, so I'm glad to hear a webinar on it. I'll need to listen to other webinars in addition to put it to use.\n\nMags is a great speaker and MT DNA is a great subject, we need more webinars on that. And Geoff get that test ordered with MTDNA as so as you get matching!!!\n\nMags is always great!\n\nMags is great energy as always. Thanks\n\nMags is very knowledgeable and entertaining. One of my favourites and just up the road - 478 miles from my home in Ontario.\n\nMags presentations are always very informative. I can't help but learn something new each time. Although I've taken a Full Sequence mtDNA test at FTDNA, my primary focus is my atDNA test results. As time permits, I'll delve into my Big-Y & mtDNA results.\n\nMags provided a great presentation of both genealogical and DNA information. I'm now motivated to work on my MtDNA\n\nmtDNA is difficult to understand which is why I said 3. Her presentation was a 5. I will have to rewatch this webinar. \n\nNothing less than spectacular! Another great presentation.\n\nOne of the best explanations of DNA for beginner, to understand the types of DNA and the numeric assignment sequences. She is a very engaging presenter.\n\noutstanding & very informative, thank you\n\nOutstanding as usual.\n\nOutstanding! Specific examples! Great Details! Useful Information!\n\nOverwhelming. Need to rewatch.\n\nSo informative. Will need to watch again.\n\nSo interesting! Several of my family surnames from the South match Mags' (Hall and Lord-Loyd-Lloyd) so this webinar is a HUGE incentive to do mtDNA testing!
This is a MUST WATCH AGAIN webinar. Though I understand a lot about the physiological aspect of DNA & mtDNA Ms. Gaulden covered a lot of territory related to basically incorporating the probability aspect of the subject. As I said, a MUST WATCH AGAIN.\n\nA lot of information, I'll have to re-watch it.\n\nA wealth of information. Barely scratched the surface. More... more... MORE!!!\n\nAlways enjoy Mags, \n\nAs always, Mags hits it out of the park.\n\nAs usual I learned so much. I'm excited to visit the websites Mags mentioned throughout and to continue to work on learning more about mtDNA.\n\nAwesome! My only wish would be that speakers in general could/would speak a little more slowly so we have time to digest the information being presented. But of course, we can always watch the webinar again, if necessary. That's the great part about being a member!\n\nbest ever, and info I learned will help my pursuits. thank you\n\nEnergetic, but bounced around a lot.\n\nExcellent\n\nExcellent presentation\n\nExcellent presentation as always.
