Many genealogists have been working with their DNA results for several years, and it is natural to feel some fatigue. This is especially true since new matches are coming in at a slower rate. In this presentation we will explore some strategies to fight the fatigue and attack DNA results with renewed vigor!

Blaine is brilliant as always. I did not realise how DNA fatigued I really was. I do need to step back.
Blaine is just a fountain of knowledge, when it comes to genetic genealogy, and he has a brilliant delivery style, making things easy to comprehend.
Blaine is pretty brilliant but this webinar was not the most helpful. The Q&A section picked it up a bit though because it had more specifics.
Blaine is such an excellent presenter. He doesn’t talk over your head, and gives practical advice.
Blaine is such an outstanding speaker.
Blaine is wonderful, but still quite a bit above my skill set. I’d like to have someone explain the double helix model and relate it to the terminology genealogists use – what is are the rungs of the ladder called, etc.
Blaine talks informatively without making one feel uniformed or silly. Good talk!
Blaine was great, as always.
Blaine was very clear, as usual
Blaine’s advice is good common sense, not only when applied to DNA but reviewing our documents as well.

I always enjoy listening to Blaine speak.
I always learn something from listening to Blaine.
I always learn something new about DNA & Genetic Research from Blaine’s presentations. Thank you!
I always learn something new from Blaine!
I can’t believe how intently I listened, thank you for this. It’s like it’s OK to say Hey, I need a break so everyone stop asking me for projects!!
I enjoy the way Blaine explains things so clearly. 🙂
I enjoyed learning some new strategies when working on my DNA matches.
I found the strategies and tips to be useful, even without DNA fatigue.
I guess I knew many of these ideas, already.
I liked the focus. Yes, DNA is great when it works but sometimes, you need to have strategies for the times it is not working to help fill out your tree. I have done most of ideas presented and it is nice to hear it is OKAY to WALK AWAY for a time. Thanks.
I love Blaine and got some great ideas.
I love hearing Blaine talk on DNA. I learn something new to try with every talk he gives. Thank you!
I plan to access more of Blaine’s webinars!
I really enjoyed it and have taken a number of bullet points, which I will act on. My only comment is that I am in Australia, and presenters often think and talk in American terms which are foreign to some of us. DNA is international. As an aside I have just got my granddaughter’s DNA results, the only continent not mentioned is Antarctica.
I really enjoyed the 5 suggestions and took a lot of notes with try this. Also I had never heard of LucidChart so I’m going to look into that. Thanks!!
I think Blaine addressed the topic in a way that was helpful for me.
I think I need a break!
I took this course because it was Blaine but what I came to realize was that I had grown fatigued. Thanks for all the excellent tips and strategies on what I can do. It also helped to give those cM # markers (i.e. 50 or 20 and 40) on where to draw the line for my research and focus
I will listen to anything from Blaine!
Incredibly helpful! I hope to hear more from him Thanks Blaine
It was good to be reminded that taking a break is a valid choice.
I’ve done 2 DNA test but am just starting into using it – BUT Blaine explained things so simply and clearly that I followed everything and he’s given me some ideas about how to approach my genealogy research integrating DNA and records early on rather than continuing first with records and then addressing DNA information. Blaine’s a wonderful presenter because he obviously helped more experienced DNA users and me at the same time!
Listening to Blaine always perks me up and makes me look at things in a new way.
Listening to one of Blaine’s webinars is always time well spent. I feel better about my own DNA fatigue (based on very few good matches because many of my ancestors had few children who survived to adulthood) and empowered to keep on working.
Lots of great ideas.
Lots of GREAT info
Lots of new ideas, well presented.
Lots to do to make better use of the DNA matches.
Love anything Blaine Bettinger presents.
Love Blaine and his presentation
Love Blaine! And good suggestions
Loved the topic on DNA fatigue. Very informative nd Blaine is always great!
Many hints for my research.
Nice to get permission to step back & take a break if things get too frustrating & I find I need that reminder from time to time.
Nice to listen to a DNA webinar without it using how we get DNA. That gets repetitive.
None, at this time: However, this was awesome presentation. I really enjoyed Blaine and the moderator for putting together this amazing Educational program on Genetics (DNA).
One of my favorites
One of the best webinars i’ve been to. Spoke clearly and not too quickly and didn’t mumble. Content was excellent. Left me with much food for thought. Thank you.
Presenter was knowledgeable and interesting
Questions and answers were very informative and helpful.
Reinforced good strategies. I always liked that Blaine speaks with you, not to you! Very personable
Right on time with great strategies to follow up on.
Some good ideas for working through DNA burnout. Thanks!
Some interesting ideas on re-looking at your research, thanks Blaine!
Strategies were just what I needed. Well thought out and with suggestions of how to accomplish each strategy.
Super, as usual, thank you
Thank you for the wonderful ideas!
Thank you for this. It was very timely and I liked hearing Blaine say that it’s okay to take a break. I feel like I should be doing more, but perhaps a break or doing something different (genealogically) is what I need.
Thank you so much for an informative webinar. I always enjoy hearing Blaine talk about anything related to DNA.
Thanks! First session I’d attended.
This was awesome as always. It feels good to hear that it’s ok to take a break – I always feel guilty.
This was great! I have been bogged down and overwhelmed by my DNA matches. Blaine Bettinger is such a good speaker, and this webinar will help me get my act together to try all the ways of figuring out who all these long-lost relatives are. Thank you!
thx! just in time for me!
Useful suggestions; thanks so much!
very easy to follow!
Very good. Thank you.
very helpful webinar. I found that taking a break really does work with clearing your mind and clarifying things. Thanks!
Very helpful. Introduced new avenues.
Very informative and motivating.
Very informative thank you
Very logical approach to fatigue bye leaving DNA for a time and working with your records!
Very skilled presenter; Obviously very knowledgeable. The entire presentation was well-worth the listening. But especially I liked his recommendation to build a bushy tree. The last few months I have been working with Common Ancestor/thru-lines. Adding new entries that are verified improves those processes. I find several genealogy acquaintances are not familiar with those.
very very Helpful !
Very well explained
Well done, easy to follow
Well-done; it is good to step back from intense research. Thank you!
WOW. I hope I live long enough to use all this information. Great job. I can hear the bricks cracking already.
