   I am never disappointed when watching your webinars.; even if it's a topic that I'm not really interested in. I work til 8 pm (EST) so I'm always late but I know that I can always watch with my membership. \n\nI don't know much about the DNA portion of genealogy. BUT, believe it or not, I was able to follow the speaker and I understood how she reached her goals. It actually made sense to me!!! I think she is a great speaker and a fantastic teacher!! I really enjoyed this webinar!! Thanks!!\n\nI enjoy learning about DNA. I wish everyone would jump into the gene pool. What fun we would have.\n\nI enjoyed the analysis. Hopefully, I'll be able to incorporate the methods when the need arises.\n\nI have a general interest in this topic\n\nI just wish I had as many aunts and uncles around to give DNA tests to and cousins with an interest. Besides my sister and her daughter, my closest match is 3rd to distant cousins and they don't usually have a tree. \n\nI learned a lot today. A few things were a little confusing to me but believe that is because of my lack of knowledge in a few areas. She was very thorough.\n\nI like this webinar because it simplified the process of certification- not so daunting now. And open question forum was fun!\n\nI liked her analysis and step by step work.\n\nI loved the organizational approach to doing this for a KDP or pedigree project. It was so clearly laid out that it made complete sense. Thank you Angela!\n\nI loved the strong example of DNA in this KDP.\n\nI need to update my copy of Genealogy Standards! \n\nI was so excited that this showed Ancestry's DNA since this is what my parents tested with. I have a great-great grandfather that we know almost nothing about and I was wondering how to start using DNA to learn about his family. This was an excellent demonstration of how I can go about this and use the Standards at the same time.\n\nI'm very critical and this was so well organized and the voice of the presenter and style kept me listening. I usually have to turn it off when a presenter can't avoid verbal tics like ums, etc.\n\nIm very new at this so I found it too over my head.\n\ninformational\n\nInformative, Easy to follow, Happy that I was instinctively already following most of the standards. I did pick up a few more ideas. :)\n\nInteresting\n\nInteresting DNA Case Study.\n\nInteresting presentation, useful for future reference.\n\nInteresting talk, and helpful in working through the standards in a practical way. I live in Australia, but intend to do the BCG certification.\n\nit was abit over my head but interesting to me\n\nIt was helpful in showing the how of doing such a project.\n\nIt was interesting. I have a lot to learn.\n\nit was particularly helpful in learning how to document the dna match data for BCG certifiation.\n\nIt was very informative and provides encouragement to do my own dna pedigree chart\n\nIt was wonderful! Sorry, I had to hop off early to take care of some things. I really appreciate the speaker's time and efforts to make this webinar excellent :)\n\nI've been working on a family project using dna to support connections and this program helped me to confirm that I'm on the right track and provided additional help. I read books and articles. but these programs are really helpful. Thanks!\n\nL9ved the charts and use of 3 different websites. \n\nLearned lots, and hope to try it.\n\nLearned so much! I also am excited about all the ways I can use this knowledge.\n\nMade it look so easy but we all know it is not. \n\nMethodical, logical, and most importantly easy to follow.\n\nNice presentation on her research. Not sure that it helped me along that much, but good info about the various charting techniques.\n\nNicely put together and structured for this topic.\n\noutstandingly excellent! "power panel" was an unexpected benefit !!! this research, documentation, and citing is hauntingly familiar to A.P.A. style.\n\nPresented information in a clear and interesting manner. Presentation moved along at a good speed.\n\nReally informative.... thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to all the presenters. \n\nShe did a great job of explaining and demonstrating the process of using DNA to confirm a pedigree.\n\nShe made it understandable and straightforward. Thanks for that! And I'm so very envious of all her cousins-I only have 3 second cousin and 4 third cousin matches on Ancestry!\n\nSo great to have questions answered by Angela McGhie, Karen Stanbury and LaBrenda Garrett-Nelson!

A Thankyou to LeBrenda for her intro for BCG, i have heard it before, i have the book and i have a general good idea about BCG cert needs and wants. After the intro by Lebrenda to Judy Russels talk i did go look at the BCG Web site- it had been a while, and it was great, and did read the information under the tabs and review the FAQ , and was pleasantly surprised by all the wonderful links to go look at, I discovered a great place for more learning ! \n\nHow could you not enjoy tonight! Wow!\n\nI already use genetic genealogy in my work with adoptees but am interested in using it to work on lineages. This webinar was a good overview of how it's used in a Kinship Project. I also like the addition of the Genealogical Standards for DNA to show us how to apply those in our work.

   A good topic, and was interesting to see how Angela did this by combining documentation and DNA. Though it seems she is very fortunate in having good documentation for those generations - not always easy to find!\n\nA little over my head but I understand what she did and why. Now to retain.\n\nA little short, but she covered the topic well. \n\nabove my expertise, but presentation was easy to follow with her charts\n\nAn extremely helpful webinar, clearly and logically presented in a way that will give me considerable guidance in doing a KDP for one of my most difficult former "brick wall" ancestors. Thank you, Geoff and Angela!\n\nAn unexpected treat to have the "Power Panel"! Angela has such a great way of making something so complicated easy to understand.\n\nAngela always makes an excellent presentation!\n\nAngela and the panel gave lots of helpful information and clarification of facts.\n\nAngela did a beautiful job. It was a plus to have Karen and LaBrenda help with the Q &A.\n\nAngela did a great job in analyzing her DNA matches and showing us how she organizes the information to prove common ancestors.
