   Really appreciated the speaker's clear delivery and the fact that she did not rush thru her presentation.\n\nThank you to Mary for this superintersting webminar.\n\nThat was one of the best DNA webinars ever. I liked Mary's steady pace of presenting the information. It also opened my eyes on how I did not really examine the EE of my tests throughly enough. Come back again!\n\nThe information gave me a clearer understanding. Thank you\n\nThe information is exactly what I was looking for, both for evaluating the ethnicity estimates and for how to use the information from matches. I have family members who have tested on several different sites, so I loved learning how they differ in their analysis. Thank you!\n\nThere should be more discussion on how the reference panels are created so that we can better understand how we get put into categories for ethnicity.\n\nThis was a very interesting discourse on ethnicity results; don't believe I've attended other classes or webinars on this topic. Well done.\n\nvery good explaination\n\nvery good information\n\nVery good! Thank you!\n\nvery helpful to hear about the differences between the testing companies and the time ranges of how ethnicity is reported\n\nVery informative and well presented. \n\nVery interesting and informative webinar. \n\nVery relaxed and informative presentation with good specific examples to clarify main points. Thanks!\n\nvery understandable. Next time include LivingDNA, it is highly rated\n\nVery useful and enjoyable webinar. Slides excellent\n\nWas very good. Thank you.\n\nWent at a good pace to follow this complicated subject. Thanks!\n\nWonderful webinar on ethnicity.\n\nWonderful.\n\nWow, this was fantastic. Knowledgeable speaker who spoke at a non-rushed pace so one could absorb her presentation. Thank you, thank you, thank you Mary & Geoff. Superb!

   Brings some clarity to the DNA questions and quests we all take.\n\nClear, concise and interesting. Great webinar. Thank you.\n\nExcellent presentation opening the door a little more on to the mysterious DNA.\n\nExcellent presentation. Thank you!\n\nExtended my understanding of the estimates.\n\nFantastic webinar with lots of great information giving another aspect of the quest to researching ours and our relatives DNA.\n\nFantastic!! Had to get back to work though. \n\nGood information on the topic.\n\nGood information. \n\ngreat as usual\n\nGreat information\n\nGreat information and presentation! Thanks!\n\nGreat information!\n\nGreat information! Thank you for addressing my questions and concerns. Looking forward to next webinar!\n\nGreat information, presented in a clear and easily understood manner.\n\ngreat presentation makes things a lot clearer now well done.\n\nGreat webinar. Well-presented, slides were really clear. Really useful material and easy to follow and understand.\n\nHelpful, thank you\n\nHer syllabus explains ethnicity estimates very well. Outstanding!\n\nI always learn something new. Family stories have told one thing, but my DNA tells another.\n\nI had no idea that different DNA services used different ways to determine ethnicities. Thank you for the info!\n\nI learned useful information and appreciated the detailed information. \n\nI loved the pace of this information. It allowed time to really absorb all the information. Thank you.\n\nI think the speaker did a great job with a difficult topic.\n\nI use to look upon ethnicity estimates are being nothing more than an "airy-fairy" lure to get more people to test even though they had no interest in their genealogy. Thanks to Mary Eberle's presentation, I now have an understanding of how ethnicity estimates actually may be used in my research. Thanks Geoff!\n\nI will watch again as I missed a section in the middle. \n\nI'll need to watch again - lots to learn!! \n\nIt's a complicated topic, and generally haven't worried to much about the ethnicity estimate, except for the fun factor. I do see where it can come in handy for pointing out inaccuracies when it doesn't match what we already think we know. I didn't actually learn anything new, but it was good to walk through the comparison and further reinforce that it's an evolving field that is better used for inference than incontrovertible fact.\n\nLiked the way she did not rush through things.\n\nLoved how slowly the speaker presented to give time to digest all the information. Great speaker!!!\n\nMary Eberle is a wonderful speaker. She talked in a slower manner, which helps us take in the information she is sharing.\n\nMary gave me an idea where to purchase my next DNA test when they go on sale. My funds are very limited, so your information was vital to me. Thank you Mary and Family Tree Webinars.\n\nMary is very knowledgeable about Ethnicity Estimates and her talk opened up more ways that I should be looking at my Ethnicity.\n\nMary sounded like she was struggling with her voice (perhaps due to an illness?). Just wanted her to know that I appreciated her perseverance and we could hear her fine. Great explanations of the ethnicity estimates.\n\nMissed the last half due to an appointment, but this webinar was great! I can't wait to watch it again soon - at least a couple of times!\n\nMUST listen again to absorb details\n\nNever really paid close attention to the ethnicity estimates since there is so much talk about how unreliable they are. This webinar gave me a new perspective on them. Enjoyed the suggestions of how one can use them in genealogy research.\n\nNice and even talk so you can think at the same time.
