   Very good intro to DNA analysis.\n\nVery good! I learned alot but will watch it again without distractions!\n\nVery good. I'm far from stupid, but still don't quite get DNA. Thanks for more good info on this subject.\n\nVery helpful and straightforward, filled in a few gaps in my knowledge. I had a basic understanding but this has moved me on to try my own triangulations.\n\nVery informational. Thanks for using simple terms for us laymen. \n\nVery informative\n\nVery informative and easy to understand, using diagrams. \n\nVery informative and helpful in understanding how to compare my DNA matches to see if they are my Mom's or my Dad's sides. Thank You!!\n\nvery informative without becoming overwhelming.\n\nvery informative, added to what I learned at RootsTech earlier this year. Thanks so much\n\nVery informative. Thanks!\n\nVery interesting and gives me a new way of looking at the tree. Thank you\n\nVery useful information especially on using DNA segments to locate common ancestors of matches who do not have a tree. Thank you.\n\nVery well explained. \n\nVery well explained. Thank you\n\nVery well segmented for a very clear presentation of what has been a difficult area for me to grasp. Thank you Ran!!\n\nWas absolutely amazed at the capability of the browser. I had no clue.\n\nwell done\n\nwell done as always.\n\nWell, I'll have to watch it a few more times; but it was excellent!\n\nWent by quickly! I will watch again to understand more.\n\nWhat a simple explanation of understanding how to use the segment data on MyHeritage. Can't wait to dig in and try this out!\n\nWill definitely need to follow up and watch a re-run of this presentation. Also, hoping that somewhere along the way there can be a presentation for people (like me) who have no parent or grandparent alive to take a DNA test. I have figured out through old-fashioned paper research how a few of my matches are related, but would like to use DNA resources to help me further.\n\nWonderful clear explanation and detailed examples, very helpful!\n\nWonderful explanation on how to use the snp dna analysis\n\nWonderful visual tools to help explain DNA. The presenter did a wonderful job explaining a complex subject. This is the first DNA webinar I have watched that I could actually understand! Bravo!!\n\nWOW, Excellent presentation. I didn't think I would understand too much of this presentation, but listened in anyway for any tidbit I could get. Ran Snir made a very complicated subject (for me anyway) extremely clear.\n\nWow, what a great explanation and how to use the chromosome browser. I will greatly help me with one of my brick walls.

Thank you.\n\nThe triangulation examples were clear and helpful to me for trying to figure out how matches are connected to branches of the family.\n\nThis explained so much about the chromosome browser and I am anxious to try it for my matches!!\n\nThis made the chomosomes and trianglation much more understandable!\n\nThis was excellent and I now have a better understanding of how to use the segment match information in my research.\n\nThis webinar was fantastic! I now understand triangulated segments. Thank you.\n\nVery clear and easy to understand!\n\nVery clear and helpful explanation of DNA. Thank you.\n\nVery clear but I need to view again so I can pause it and digest what I missed. I will definitetly look for other presentations by Ran.\n\nVery clear explanation.\n\nVery clear exposition of the one-to-many browser tool. It would be nice to be able to select/filter DNA matches by chromosome, or the 'shared matches' list by matches that triangulate...\n\nVery clear illustrations on how to use some of the hidden tools on MH\n\nVery clear...greatly improved my understanding...thank you\n\nVery complicated issue. Keeps getting easier to understand every time I listen.\n\nVery good explainations. Excellent graphics. Move at a pace that was just right.

   Great explanations of many concepts and terminology. I think, finally, I am beginning to grasp how to use some of the tools for analyzing my genetic genealogy!:)\n\ngreat explanations!\n\nGreat explanations, very easy to follow\n\nGreat info Thanks\n\nGreat information\n\nGreat information \n\nGreat job! Learned some new things to apply to my research. Thank you very much!\n\nGreat presentation! Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you! : ) \n\ngreat stuff now to start using the knowledge\n\nGreat stuff thanks!\n\nGreat visual of grandchild having bits of DNA from grandparents (Purples & Oranges).\n\ngreat webinar, wonderful information and excellent presenter. \n\nHelped me to advance in knowing how to use DNA research in furthering my family connections\n\nHelpful explanation of triangulation.\n\nHelpful info about finding common ancestors.\n\nHis explanation at the beginning was very clear and simplified about the various terms being used for DNA. \n\nHis explanation provided better understanding of how triangulation works and how to interpret it.\n\nHis explanations were so clear, I know and understand so much more about DNA results.\n\nI definitely need to watch it again. A lot of info!\n\nI FINALLY understand how triangulating works and how I can apply what I know to the unknown. All those matches without trees or a few names that tell me nothing or just their name and private listed for all others. Fun rather than frustration. Can't wait! Ran did a great presentation.\n\nI FINALLY understand overlap on a chromosome that is not a triangulation! I am going to watch this again so I can stamp it into my head!\n\nI found it to be very informative about using the Chromosome Browser and triangulation.\n\nI have attended several presentations on DNA for genealogical purposes but this was the most useful in how you can match shared segments and track up your ancestral lines using them. \n\nI learn a bit more each time I do a webinar.\n\nI learned a lot that I think I will be able to apply right away.\n\nI learned so much and would like to learn more! Very interesting!\n\nI love it when Ran Snir presents because he makes the complex simple. Excellent tips on how to better used shared matches to flush out which line to pursue.\n\nI need to see it again\n\nI think I learned how to use some of the tools today. Time will tell, but it was explained very well. Thank you, Ran.\n\nI thought this was a very good explanation of how to use this.\n\nI was able to track most of the way through his presentation...got lost at the end.\n\nI'm glad I tuned in. DNA is a tough concept for me. Or maybe my brain is just stubborn. But, I keep trying. And, so I did walk anyway with a number of concepts that I could share in simple terms. And, so I anticipate watching more..... so many thanks.\n\nIt provided a clearer understanding of how to approach DNA matching. thanks.\n\nIt was very informative and presented in a way I think anyone could understand, even if it's somewhat of a technical subject.\n\nIt was very informative. I wish he could have touched on what amount of segments and snp's are the best to research or that is not worth searching. Also, I am happy he proved a line without a tree up.\n\nIt was very interesting and very informative. It would be great if one could access the presentation any time one wishes to do so in order to refresh the memory! \n\nIt was, as someone else commented, an excellent explanation AND visualization of this material. I finally feel as if I almost understand it! Thank you.\n\nLearn a little every time and helpful to understand how to use the parts of My Heritage.\n\nlovely stuff\n\nneed to watch again.\n\nnew to DNA and this for someone more understanding.\n\nNice to know one can find so much using the shared segments. Too late to have my mother tested (passed away at 99 last month). I Need to be sure to test her sister, my siblings and others.\n\nNot sure this 77 yr old can process this info into a working plan, but sure going to try. Wish I had more living relatives to test. Thanks

   A difficult topic to present, this was a good start. It does require going back over some concepts repeatedly, probably best by having been stimulated to use the "tools" section and comparison features of MyHeritage. In addition, it encourages us to upload DNA sources from other testing sites and consolidate them at our MyHeritage account, allowing better comparison. Thanks.\n\nA lot of information to absorb. This will help sort out some matches that I know and also maybe help a cousin figure out her unknown paternal relationship. Thanks \n\nA lot of information to digest. I need to read more so I can ask more questions.\n\nalways love his webinars...always so informative and learn more than I knew before I started the webinar!\n\nAnother good explanation of DNA and how we share with our relatives.
