About this webinar
Why create a surname project or name study? Whether it’s to help you solve a family mystery or just to answer the questions of how, we will look at how surname projects and DNA projects can be worked to answer most of your genealogy questions. From discovering NPE’s (non-parental events) to discovering your surname is a derivative of another surname, we will work a surname and show you haw Surname studies and DNA can break down your brick walls.

I am now inspired.\n\nMags is enthusiastic and informative. Well done!\n\nMags is fantastic.\n\nMags, always has a lot of great information to share, I will look into the sites she shared this afternoon.\n\nMags, thank you for your very educational presentation. I'll have to re-watch a few times to grasp the enormous amount of detailed information.\n\nMind boggling! I felt like this was above my current skill level but I definitely will watch again and again as my skill levels improve (and once Covid-brain disappears). Thank you so much for providing the opportunities for us to grow!\n\nMust check out WikiTree!\n\nMust watch again -- too much information to handle in one sitting.\n\nNot able to stay whole thing but what I could stay for was very interesting. Mags Gaulen is always a good presenter.\n\nOutstanding! So much valuable information. \n\nPresentation was great. I need to watch some other webinars to get more background before I watch it again. \n\nReally fascinating. An entirely different way to add to your family tree.\n\nReally good info. I'll have lots to explore & learn!\n\nVery informative learned alot about surname and DNA projects to further help our research, Thanks so much\n\nSomething we should all check on immediately.\n\nsorry I had a conflict and had to leave early - but I learned some new things! thanks\n\nSuper!!\n\nSuperb, very interesting.\n\nThank You - I am going to get involved in this. I think it could be helpful on at least one brick wall line. But first I will need to do some STUDY.\n\nThanks a lot!\n\nThanks, once again very informative\n\nThe subject is fascinating, though I will need to review the presentation (probably more than once)!
The webinar was well-prepared and conversational.\n\nThis is a relatively high-level DNA webinar - with so much information on it, that my mind was definitely boggled!! However, her handout is very helpful, and her explanations and examples also very clear. I'll be watching this again with DNA sites & WIKItree open on my 2nd monitor and work things out, step by step. Excellent webinar, absolutely stellar. \n\nThis is definitely one that I will be reviewing. Great materials and presentation.\n\nThis is hard for me to rate because, although I did my DNA with Ancestry, I haven't gone into it technically. So, I ended up writing down terms and resources to look up -- but not totally following the presentation. I think it was probably a great presentation if I knew more about the types and use of DNA.\n\nThis webinar was very timely since I am taking a YDNA test to join a surname DNA group project. I'm also going to watch a previous webinar to learn more about WikiTree.\n\nThis webinar was wonderful. I have not been on Wikitree for a long time. I will have to check it out again. I love learning more about DNA too. We need more FUN in our lives. Thanks so much for the info. \n\nVery easy to follow - she does get excited and talk fast however!! I will watch again when I can have my info on the screen to help me fo\n\nVery good\n\nvery informative\n\nVery informative & interesting, Thank yo very much.\n\nVery informative, learned lots about things I never knew about!

I thoroughly enjoyed this session!\n\nI got information on resources I did not previously know of\n\nI learned a lot from Mags Gaulden today so much that I plan to rewatch the webinar later after I look around at Wikitree.\n\nI love that she spelled it out that DNA can not prove lineage. That has been my question for months now and finally someone said it so I understand.\n\nI was glad to be made aware of the surname studies and how to link the dna study to it.\n\nI was impressed with how knowledgeable the presenter was on her subject and related areas.\n\nInformation was wonderful. Presentation was interesting .\n\ninformative and richly illustrated\n\nInspiring\n\nInspiring! WikiTree will get more attention from me. mitoYDNA.org has escaped my notice until today. Both are related to what I have been doing for the last few years....putting atDNA matches onto my tree on Ancestry....now more than 600, well-documented on my side to the common ancestor(s) and reasonably well-documented in a 40,000+ person tree. Looking forward to collaboration and helping others.\n\ninteresting
