About this webinar
This presentation will delve into the world of DNA segment data and explain not only what it is but how to make best use of it to aid your family history research. Michelle will demonstrate how to use chromosome browsers and provide a guide to the different tools available at the major testing companies. Through the use of practical examples she will illustrate intermediate and advanced autosomal DNA techniques such as triangulation, chromosome mapping, inferred matching and visual phasing. If you've got to grips with the beginner DNA topics then it's well worth spending some time learning about segment data and how to get the most out of it!

Good closing thought about acknowledging that segment data is just one part of DNA analysis.\n\nAlmost too much information! I'll have to watch this one again!\n\nAlthought the pace was rather fast and a great amount of material was covered I certainly learned a great deal. Thank you and I look forward to more DNA programs as they are very helpful. \n\nAnother awesome webinar with Michelle. So much information to take in -I think it is going to be very useful to me. Thanks!\n\nAwesome handout and presentation. Will need to re-watch mutliple times so fast can't keep up on note taking even with pior DNA experience.\n\nAWESOME webinar!

Thank you Michelle and Legacy Family Tree Webinars.\n\nexcellent webinar, Michelle was great\n\nExcellent webinar. I learned a lot to help me go back and renew my DNA analysis with DNA Painter. There were several other items which I was not aware of which now required those to be evaluated to enhance my research.\n\nExcellent webinar. I must learn more about DNA before I can fully understand it.\n\nExcellent webinar. I'll have to watch it again to get more out of it!\n\nExcellent!\n\nExcellent! Thank you!\n\nExcellent! Michelle is a terrific speaker and always provides a wonderful learning experience. Thanks!\n\nExcellent! Much more info than I could take in, but Michelle's enthusiasm is contagious.\n\nExcellent! Very fast-paced but great material. \n\nexcellent \n\nExcellent, but too much to take in all at once! We could use detailed presentations and visual how-to's on each one of the sites she discusses.\n\nExcellent, I learned so much and great that I can look at it for another seven days as it was very early in the morning in Australia, and we were listening to it with a very short nights sleep!\n\nExcellent, info filled, useful, very clear and logical\n\nExcellent, superb, so much information presented nicely and concisely. Thank you!\n\nExcellent. Covered tools I was interested in.\n\nExcellent. Michelle is fantastic at explaining this topic!\n\nExcellent. Thank you. I am going to have to watch it again a couple of times, loads of great information.\n\nExellent but a lot to absorb, when English is not your first langauge.
Fabulous\n\nFabulous \n\nFabulous! I learned much and was introduced to a lot of information that I didn't grasp, but helps me get started on the subject. Audio was great today! This lady knows her stuff and we appreciate her level of explanations!\n\nFantastic amount of info shared. My head is swimming, but I'm a member so the handout will help me absorb it. Thanks!\n\nFantastic information.\n\nGeret speaker and a very interesting topic. I am still trying to figure out how this works.\n\nGobs of great information\n\nGood information, new tips, clearly presented. \n\nGood overview but a little too fast even for those of us who know a bit about most of these features. But jam packed with info so worth listening to again.\n\nGood, but too complicated for me. I just don't understand the basic DNA information.\n\nGreat explanation of these complicated topics.\n\nGreat information and resources. Thank you!\n\nGreat information but too much information in one session. \n\nGreat information! Michelle's presentations always make me want to learn more!\n\nGreat information, although I have a lot of catching up to do - will be watching more webinars!\n\nGreat information, just a lot to digest in one hour.\n\nGreat information, skillful presentation.\n\nGreat intermediate-level presentation on DNA concepts and tools!\n\nGreat Knowledge\n\nGreat presentation and handout! Will definitely need to watch it again....and again! Thank you Michelle & Marian. : )\n\nGreat presentation. Covered a lot in just over an hour\n\nGreat presenter - makes it sound and look so easy! BUT, I will have to see again as she covers a lot of territory!\n\ngreat seminar. really peaked my interest!\n\ngreat stuff - makes it every easy to understand \n\nGreat webinar as always Michelle is a skilled presenter. \n\nGreat webinar to explain the chromosome segments and mapping techniques. I'll definitely look into using one of the software packages that she mentioned.\n\nGreat webinar! Great Information!!!\n\nGreat webinar!!!\n\nGreat webinar, as always! \n\nheel interessant, een heleboel informatie gekregen\n\nHelped to solidify some things I knew and taught me a few new tricks!\n\nhopefully I can find the slides some where... Great info!\n\nI am just at the point in my research where I need to start using DNA Painter and this was really helpful in understanding what to do/expect. I also really appreciate that I can re-watch as I will probably do that to better understand some of the more complex concepts. Thanks so much!!!\n\nI have laughed when people say a webinar is a firehose but now I know what they mean! I have only Ancestry & MyHer ( & a little GEDmatch) so it was very good to see all the services compared visually one after another.\n\nI Have only tested with Ancestry so this webinar wasn’t helpful to me. \n\nI have worked too little with the topics, which made it a bit difficult. Very interesting and motivating teacher.\n\nI haven’t gotten into this yet so it was a lot of info. \n\nI learned a lot about chromosomes, segments and how to work with them. Well organized and a good presenter.\n\nI love Michelle Leonard's webinars. She's well-spoken and knowledgeable and fully explains. Lovely accent too!\n\nI need to go back and view her introductory webinar first. I didn't know this was an intermediate level class until it started. I will definitely come back to this after I get more basic information.\n\nI picked up a couple of tips about websites I already use (e.g. 23andMe, FTDNA) that I hadn't known before. I've tried some inferred mapping before, but Michelle's presentation of the approach made the technique manageable. \n\nI really appreciate Michelle's webinars -- they're clear and concise and always full of new information. \n\nI thought it was quite informative.\n\nI understood until the end and then it was too advanced for me at this time.\n\nI want to master this but it is just a little over my head right now.\n\nI’m glad I’m a member so I can watch it again! Very informative \n\nI’m hoping to get going on my trees & thus be able to use all this & other webinars soon. \n\nIncredible information\n\nIncredible Wealth of info\n\nIt was a good overview. Now I have to go back and look at a couple of the more detailed webinars.\n\nIt was great - she moved from simple to complex, & also presented many companies/options. The 23 & Me portion was extremely helpful. I feel more confident about using their chromosome browser. Thanks so much!\n\nIt was helpful\n\nIt was indeed at least intermediate level. Content was excellent, probably a 5. \n\nIt was outstanding.\n\nIt was probably wonderful -- but way over my head! I like the presenter very much.\n\nIt was super! Great explanations. Look forward to more.
Looking forward to webinars that goes in-depth for each of the tools mentioned today. Hint, hint.... :)\n\nLots of good information\n\nLots of good information -- I think I need to watch it again tho to process more of it! Thank you!\n\nLots of good information, I’ll be re-watching at least one more time??\n\nLots of great information but way too much for me to take in in a single pass (or maybe even two or three!)\n\nLots of great information to soak in\n\nLots of great information. Going to have fun playing with the tools. Thanks.\n\nLot's of great information... well organized! Opens up a whole new world for me! I didn't know much about 3rd party tools!\n\nLots of great information; but too much in too little time. \n\nLots of great material, but she talks too fast to digest it!\n\nLOTs of information but somehow she makes it all make sense. Will listen again as its hard to absorb so much in an hour. I always learn so much from her presentations.\n\nLots of information! Great visuals along with explanations! \n\nLots of information! It was nice to see the available tech tools in one place. Thanks!\n\nLots of information. I just need to be more familiar with DNA segments and do testing from a site other than Ancestry for this to be useful to \n\nLots of really good material covered, but some of it was skimmed over too quickly.\n\nLots to follow-up on! This is the kind of information I find difficult to locate elsewhere, and I appreciate the timeliness of the information presented (clarifications of current restrictions / limitations). \n\nLove the fast pace. A lot over my head but I'm past the beginner stage where DNA is explained in detail. This is one I will listen to again once I've wrapped my brainaround what I did absorb. \n\nLOVED it! I've played with DNA Painter, but now I'm curious about Genome Mate Pro, and will have to watch Michelle's webinar on that. \n\nLoved it... I have worked with DNA for a while, but heard some new info today. thanks!\n\nLoved what I saw; can't wait to go back and watch the end. \n\nLoved, lots of info but very worthwhile.\n\nMade me realize how much more I need to learn about managing DNA matches\n\nMichele Leonard has out DONE herself Again!! Just Amazing, + a fantastic syllabus!\n\nMichelle explains difficult concepts well. I'm glad I'm a member so I can watch this over again!\n\nMichelle gives great information without a lot of extra words in there. Learned LOTS, and very grateful and appreciative for this opportunity. Thank you so much :)\n\nMichelle is a font of wisdom. Have her return soon.\n\nMichelle is amazing. She is the best speaker that I have heard on these webinars. \n\nMichelle is an excellent presenter and the material she provided was excellent.\n\nMichelle is an excellent presenter of very difficult concepts. Bring her back!\n\nMichelle is an excellent presenter, and I always get so much from her webinars. I've been working with DNA evidence for many years and gained many new insights from this presentation.\n\nMichelle is an excellenter presenter.\n\nMichelle is obviously an expert in this field. Excellent presentation just a bit too long for my schedule today! I'll have to get the ending on the recording at a later date.\n\nMichelle is so knowledgable about DNA. I appreciate her efforts to teach and share helpful information.\n\nMichelle is so knowledgeable about DNA. I like that she does a great job of targeting her audience, i.e. intermediate class - no basic content!\n\nMichelle Leonard does a great job explaining a difficult subject--DNA. \n\nMichelle was fantastic but this is one session that missing the handout is a real disadvantage\n\nMichelle, I always learn something new from each of your webinars. Thanks!\n\nMichelle's webinar's are always so insightful.\n\nML did not leave anything out! I use all these tools but the last high end one at the last of the talk, and i learned lots, i did not know about certain short cuts to save time and effort, thanks so much these talks get better and better, i am going to go look at the GMP talks sometime, many thanks that was a lot of work must have been over 150 slides, so much to do and so little time and ML took a lot of her time to make this for all of us, deeply grateful to her and others that do the same. \n\nOne tool I have found to be very helpful is DNAGedcom's Autosomal DNA Segment Analyzer. I was surprised this tool wasn't mentioned. For a small fee and it is very easy to use and understand, most of the work is done for you. You can upload the DNA Data from MyHeritage, FTDNA, 23andme, and Gedmatch. I have used it and solved three brick walls with it. I am getting ready to run it for 2020 to begin work on the fourth brickwall. DNAGedcom is primarily for adoptees but not limited to them. \n\nOutstanding\n\nOutstanding presentation based on her experience and super knowledge...added dimension is her great voice...clear diction with a lovely accent!\n\noutstanding
Will need to watch this again\n\nProvided a strategy for deciphering the information and help narrow it down to individual family lines. Now we have a method.\n\nrather complicated but really good information\n\nReally good but went too quickly\n\nShe does great DNA webinars I always learn a lot\n\nShe gets better with each webinar!\n\nShe had a very interesting talk, and made some things a lot clearer. I have not tried to do any of this yet.\n\nShe is a great lecturer - information packed\n\nShe is always an excellent presenter. I learned many things today.\n\nShe packs so much great and useful information into her presentations!\n\nSo glad I'll be able to see and hear it again because there was a ton of good information.\n\nSo much good information. Now I just need to be able to assimilate it, but the handout will be very helpful. Thanks!\n\nSo much great information! I'll be watching this over and over!\n\nSo much info i need to look into\n\nSO Much information for my little brain to absorb! But very informative.\n\nSo much information may have been better to split into 2 webinars.\n\nso much information provided - will take a while to absorb it all - EXCELLENT\n\nSo much wonderful, useful information, presented in a very clear and understandable way. Thank you!\n\nso much, so fast. may have to rewatch.\n\nSome a little over my head.\n\nSpectacular!!! I will watch all of Michele's archived webinars. \n\nStill above my head but Ithink the more I listen the more of it sinks in.\n\nSuch a fabulous presenter! Always so informative.\n\nThanks for all the great info.\n\nThe first part was very clear to me but after an hour she lost me: too much information in too fast a pace. \n\nThe presenter spoke very fast.\n\nThere was a lot of excellent information! Thanks for all of the links in the comments. \n\nThere was a lot of good information.\n\nThis is my first Legacy seminar and Michelle was great!!\n\nthis is the second of Michelles webinars that I have watched and enjoyed....she is very easy to listen to and understand and precise in her statements...thanks\n\nThis seminar was a bit too advanced for me, but I like to keep pushing myself to learn more. However, I was pleased to find that the seminar confirmed that I do have a clear understanding of DNA triangulation.\n\nThis was an informative webinar with lots of good information.\n\nThis was even better than the last one given by Michelle Leonard. Perfect technically, exceptionally well presented\n\nThoroughly enjoyed this webinar today. I found that it definitely helped to be familiar with the various DNA companies and what tools to use on their web sites. I found Michelle Leonard's explanations to be very easy to follow and learned a lot. I will be doing more of these webinars over the coming months.

Good to know how many tools are available- thank you. Michelle is an excellent presenter; \n\nvery interesting and informative!\n\nVery interesting and informative. I'll have to use it to better understand it. Thanks.\n\nVery interesting but would have liked about half the amount of new info. as once it got past Genome MP I got out of my depth.\n\nVery interesting for those people who are doing this work. I thought she covered too much information too quickly. Other than that, she really knows her stuff. \n\nVery knowledgeable - hope I can retain a bit. thank you \n\nVery knowledgeable & knows how to explain material to get her message across.\n\nVery knowledgeable speaker!\n\nVery organized.

Too much for me but I was late getting on and that is always hard to catch up ! I will watch again! \n\nWonderful far beyond my expectations -- what can be done with GEDmatch is particularly awesome ... and then taking the Ancestry kits uploaded into GEDmatch into Genome Mate Pro ... knock your socks off power for deep analysis ... wow\n\nWonderful webinar. Will watch again to study details I didn't have time to absorb. Excited to learn about Inferred Matching. Would LOVE a whole webinar on that topic.\n\nWonderfully informative. \n\nWow! so much information. Will have to rewatch this presentation\n\nWow, lots of information presented! Really appreciate the overview of the various mapping and comparison sites & tools available!\n\nWow, she covers a lot in a very short time.
