About this webinar

The series begins with sound genealogy methodology and principles and then explains their logical extensions when using autosomal DNA as a source of information to answer focused research questions. Karen will use a case example to prove the documented ancestors are consistent with the genetic evidence on a selected ancestral line. This lecture focuses on methodology and decision-making.

    Excellent, clear and informative presentation. The slides were clear, well-organized and attention-grabbing. It was one of the clearest explanations on how to use DNA to assist in verifying biological relationships in your Family Tree.

    Karen is so knowledgeable and such an enthusiastic presenter it would be hard not to enjoy her seminars. The information about DNA always takes real concentration and it’s great to be able to watch the webinar again. Thanks Karen.

    I’ve attended over 60 DNA presentations and this was one of the BEST! She showed us new ways to think about both DNA and our analysis of matches and also, and most importantly, about syllogisms!!!

    I enjoyed her entertaining approach to this subject and her step-by-step instructions. Will return to the video to look at the numbers more in-depth.

    A complex subject clearly explained. Loved it, but will need to go back over my notes to really get to grips with it. I’m looking forward to session 2!

    This was a very informative class. It validated the way that I work with DNA and gave me some good tips to explore.
