Great webinar on developing a DNA testing plan.
Great! I’ll watch it again, maybe on the weekend; neighbor just got home and came to collect their mail so I missed the last 10-15 minutes.
Helped explained things clearer and opened my eyes on DNA testing. Will refer back as needed until information sticks with me.
I am a beginner with DNA and enjoyed this seminar very much. I’ll have to watch it again but I believe I understand it better and hope to get more into testing.
I am beginning to realize that I need to take a very beginner webinar such as an introduction to DNA.
I am still a “beginner” in understanding all of these concepts, but Debra was very helpful, very clear about explaining the “why” behind the statements, and she made the subject a lot more interesting than I expected. I will definitely listen to this webinar again–maybe even tonight! Thank you!
I have taken other workshops on DNA and this was by far the best! Thank you.
I learned some valuable things even though I have a little more experience than a beginner. Thanks for this great class.
I now understand a lot more. I look forward to more webinars such as this. Thank you.
I’m not even working on DNA yet but found this to be very informative!
I’m a genetic genealogy newbie, and have been reading and watching several webinars on the topic since getting my results. Debra’s was the best presentation so far to clarify and help me understand how to navigate this new field! She was concise, precise, had very good visuals, and suggestions on how to proceed with several of my brick wall challenges. Hope you’ll have her on again! Thanks!
Incredibly clear and helpful. Thanks a lot
It was a lot on information given today. But, we now have many sources to visit.. Enjoyed the webinar. Thank you.
It was good, just more basic than what I needed but it was done well.
It was very helpful.

Lots of great information but graphics speak louder than words. The slides were word heavy.
Love beginner webinars!
Loved the slides–so organized!! Nice refresher with new bits of information–thank you!!
My rating is only based on my current knowledge. I was hoping for more information on organizing the data.
One of the best webinars yet! Debra Renard explains basic DNA in a manner that is easy to understand.
Outstanding material, well presented. My aging ears had problems at times with the presenters diction/enunciation. The topic was well chosen and presented. I wish I had heard/seen this webinar when I first started my DNA efforts.
OUTSTANDING! I learned so much. It’s starting to all make sense.
Really great explanation.
Really helpful to hear the basics and comparisons. Thank you.
She covered a lot of good thoughts for not only beginners. Thanks!
She did a fabulous job of explaining. I’ve been working with it for a while now and not much was really new, but it’s a little clearer now. I also really appreciate how sensible and practical she comes across. Sadly, most of my vertical options are gone, so I’ll need to take a look at some 2nd cousins.
So helpful to make a difficult subject (for me) much clearer. I shall redo this webinar again and again. THANKS
Superb explanations
Thank you for the clear and detailed differences in these DNA tests and how they can be used to solve genealogy problems.
