Syllabus
Blaine Bettinger is my favorite presenter. He’s as clear, uncluttered and directed as I can imagine.
I love the clarity and focus Blaine brings to every topic he teaches. Y-DNA has been a difficult tool for me to fully understand while working to identify my husband’s surprise paternal grandfather and his lineage. Blaine’s ability to teach in a clear, organized, and on-track way has given us real hope that we may still discover the surname and hereditary line.
Very much enjoying these DNA series.
Great stuff!
If only Blaine did every webinar on every topic what a perfect world of understanding genealogy and DNA would be. While I have not, and may not, submit a sample for Y-DNA testing, this webinar gave me a slight push toward doing so once I go back and view his previous webinar(s) on the topic. His presentations make learning enjoyable because he is a “teacher” and wants those viewing his work to come away with an understanding of the subject at a level where it all makes sense. Well worth the time spent.
Blaine is always an excellent presenter. I was very glad to have a course being slightly more in-depth on understanding what is being presented with Y testing, and what can be derived from the results provided. You will find that further great strides have been made in some of the Y-haplo discussion groups on FTDNA that were not mentioned here (content for the next level up?), where the groups are then driving data and process items back to FTDNA and Y-Full.
Blaine B did a great job clarifying this subject! Thank you!
Thank you for making something that appears so complicated more understandable. I learned a lot but still have more to go.
