I had wanted to watch this program when it was first presented and life got in the way. I have now watched the recording. This was a great program. I did my mT DNA back when that was the only option for women. I did upgrade to the full sequence last year. The problem was that I never really know how to use it. Thank you so very much for the techniques that you shared. Because of this, I believe that I have found a second cousin. Now, on to more reseach to prove what I found. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
This webinar was SOOO great! Thank you both and Diahan it kind of took away the mental block I have about trying to understand DNA research. It was so amazing for Geoff to actually find and prove his 4th great grandmother! Wow!! Wow !!! I can only hope that I will find and prove my 2 x great grandfather/grandmother in time. Thank you again.
OMG! This presentation was informative, instructive and inspiring. I could feel Geoff’s sense of being overwhelmed and grateful. I am happy to learn HOW, if all the stars align, you can get your family back using mtDNA. Thank you both!

Staying organized in your genetic genealogy research could mean the difference between celebrating the toppling of a brick wall, and beating your head against that same brick wall. Let's chat about how our DNA testing companies are making it even easier for you to keep your DNA organized in 2023.

Despite his best efforts, Geoff Rasmussen's long standing brick wall hasn't come down yet. John Williams, born in New York City between 1840-1854, was the son of John Williams. Family tradition says that "he was orphaned at the age of 10 and shifted around until he was 16". Geoff thinks it's time to add a little genetic genealogy to his plan. On hand to help him develop this DNA plan is DNA expert Diahan Southard. Join us and learn techniques that you can apply to your own family tree.

The Only Thing You Need to Know About DNA and Genealogy
Often the more we learn about a topic the more we overcomplicate the application of that knowledge. Sometimes we need to step back and distill that knowledge down to just the essential parts to make it useful and actionable. Let's try that with DNA.
