Want more Nicka time... What a brilliant concept of testers and matches standing proxy... wow!\n\nHave never understood but today I think I have finally broke through enough to take a few steps forward and if stumped know enough to ask the right questions for help. Thank you Mrs. Nicka Smith\n\nI am totally blown away by this webinar! Nicka did a fantastic job of explaining the DNA and the different tests. This is the first time that a light bulb went off with the explanation of DNA and the different tests. I am going to look at this one again and again! Wish I could mark a higher number. What a fantastic webinar!\n\nI learned exactly what I needed to begin familiarizing myself with the FTDNA results I received just last night. Thank you so much for all you do to bring resources such as these to us!\n\nI like how Nikka represents her "proxy" people against her pedigree chart. It helps clarify. \n\nI liked how she suggested who to test for your favorite four, people to proxy for your great grandparents. She explained how you could determine how someone was related to you using the favorite for.\n\nI liked the recommendation to have DNA matches as proxies for great grandparents and the spreadsheet matrix. The X chromosome and mtDNA being the same was misleading but cleared up during the Q&A. \n\nI still have very limited understanding of DNA but having just gotten my Ancestry I realize the power of this information. I need to relisten several more times.\n\nI wish there was a 10 to rate the webinar. Great learning about DNA that I thought was having problems with understanding the comparisons.\n\nInteresting subject\n\nIt's a little clearer now, and she did a fantastic job presenting the info. If I keep attending these webinars, it may all sink in to this old brain. Thanks.\n\nI've participated in numerous DNA workshops/webinars, and I've NEVER heard it presented in this way before.

   OMGoodness, Nicka is so much fun! I love her presenting personality. She also made it easy to understand for those of us just starting to learn about DNA. Thanks so much!\n\nOn the 1 to 5 scale, this was a 10! Great presenter, great content!\n\nOne of the best ever!\n\nOne of the best explained webinars on DNA!!!! Have her teach GenomePro and DNA Painter as she will do an excellent job!\n\nOne of the best I've seen! Great job, Ms. Smith.\n\nOne of the best seminars I've attended. Explanations were wonderful and examples were clear and helpful.\n\nOne of the best Webinars \n\nOutstanding webinar! Packed full of great information and well explained, great job by Nicka Smith!\n\nOutstanding, thanks!\n\nPresenter was incredible. I wasn't sure what the webinar would be about, other than it would be DNA related. This was a good DNA webinar without being scientific and was easy to understand. Visuals were great as well and will definitely help and give me more to think about while doing my genealogy.\nReally broke down how to look at the different family lines and how to track down some of the missing family members, and how do you match. I would love to take a three month course from Nika and each week just go over a small part of today's presentation. Thank You so much.\n\nshe answered lots of questions; thanks\n\nShe did a wonderful job of explaining DNA. I especially liked the part where she told us who to select to get the most bang for our buck in DNA testing. She has very nice presentation skills. \n\nShe had a way of making DNA relationships easier to understand and follow.\n\nShe was terrific\n\nshowed another way to organize dna matches. \n\nSimply fantastic - she's so clear, her use of DNA tools so helpful!! I loved the whole webinar, and it clarified a few confusing things I was stuck on. Thank you for inviting Nicka Smith to present. \n\nSo much information. And yes, I'll be up to 5am working on my DNA project. Thank you\n\nSo much to learn and be able to connect to my DNA matches! I learned a lot and realized I have a lot more to learn. I really liked her approach; I wish I had second cousins still living to be able to test.\n\nSo wonderful info! She helps clarify the DNA. My family members aren't wanting to test yet. But, would like them to.\n\nStellar!!! I will listen to this one again and again.
