Why create a surname project or name study? Whether it’s to help you solve a family mystery or just to answer the questions of how, we will look at how surname projects and DNA projects can be worked to answer most of your genealogy questions. From discovering NPE’s (non-parental events) to discovering your surname is a derivative of another surname, we will work a surname and show you haw Surname studies and DNA can break down your brick walls.

Another fantastic learning experience. THANK YOU
Awesome webinar!

Excellent webinar.
Excellent! Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you!
Exciting and energizing, could hardly wait to get started!
extremely informative and well presented.
Fascinating
Fascinating presentation. It has encouraged me with my research. Thank you.
Full of interesting information. I need another absorbing facet to my research like another hole in my head!
Glad I attended. I did indeed learn something!
Good coverage of what is involved with a Surname and/or DNA project.
Good information, but will need to watch again as she talks so fast and there is so much to learn. She said it was reduced from 3 hours–Have again with the rest of it, please.
Good information.
great
Great
Great information ! Session flowed through the topics well
Great information but not sure if I have the energy to implement the strategies. At least I know there is help available. Thanks for the informaton!
Great information well presented! Thanks!
Great lecture. Thank you Mags and Legacy Family Tree Webinars.
Great –lots to learn and try out!
Great presentation. I didn’t know that these studies were happening so I’m checking out wikitree now -LOTS of people with my surname so I need to add to the list.
Great Seminar – I am involved in attempting to unravel my surname lineage, and this should help.
great topic and great advice thanks
Great webinar and love Mags, she was really enjoyable to listen to.
Great webinar! Mags Gaulden is a wonderful presenter! I learned a lot today.
Great webinar. Lots of fabulous information to absorb. Will watch it again!
I finally connected some dots in my visual on how DNA and genealogy merge into a collaboration with other genealogists. I thoroughly enjoyed this session!
I got information on resources I did not previously know of
I learned a lot from Mags Gaulden today so much that I plan to rewatch the webinar later after I look around at Wikitree.
I love that she spelled it out that DNA can not prove lineage. That has been my question for months now and finally someone said it so I understand.
I was glad to be made aware of the surname studies and how to link the dna study to it.
I was impressed with how knowledgeable the presenter was on her subject and related areas.
Information was wonderful. Presentation was interesting .
informative and richly illustrated
Inspiring
Inspiring! WikiTree will get more attention from me. mitoYDNA.org has escaped my notice until today. Both are related to what I have been doing for the last few years….putting atDNA matches onto my tree on Ancestry….now more than 600, well-documented on my side to the common ancestor(s) and reasonably well-documented in a 40,000+ person tree. Looking forward to collaboration and helping others.
interesting
Interesting and informative!! PLUS I had a question that was asked and answered!
interesting topic…one to watch again
Lots of great information. Thank you!
Lots of info in a short length of time, but it was very good.
Love Mags’ friendly style and she explains everything so clearly. I’m going to explore wikitree because it may fit perfectly for what I am planning. Thanks!
Loved the topic and would like to see more webinars on mitochondrial and Y DNA
Mags always does a great job no matter the subject matter.
Mags is always great!
Mags is an excellent speaker with great examples to illustrate her points.
Mags is brilliant and entertaining….thanks for a great class. I am now inspired.
Mags is enthusiastic and informative. Well done!
Mags is fantastic.
Mags, always has a lot of great information to share, I will look into the sites she shared this afternoon.
Mags, thank you for your very educational presentation. I’ll have to re-watch a few times to grasp the enormous amount of detailed information.
Mind boggling! I felt like this was above my current skill level but I definitely will watch again and again as my skill levels improve (and once Covid-brain disappears). Thank you so much for providing the opportunities for us to grow!
Must check out WikiTree!
Must watch again — too much information to handle in one sitting.
Not able to stay whole thing but what I could stay for was very interesting. Mags Gaulen is always a good presenter.
Outstanding! So much valuable information.
Presentation was great. I need to watch some other webinars to get more background before I watch it again.
Really fascinating. An entirely different way to add to your family tree.
Really good info. I’ll have lots to explore & learn!
Very informative learned alot about surname and DNA projects to further help our research, Thanks so much
Something we should all check on immediately.
sorry I had a conflict and had to leave early – but I learned some new things! thanks
Super!!
Superb, very interesting.
Thank You – I am going to get involved in this. I think it could be helpful on at least one brick wall line. But first I will need to do some STUDY.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks, once again very informative
The subject is fascinating, though I will need to review the presentation (probably more than once)!
The webinar was well-prepared and conversational.
This is a relatively high-level DNA webinar – with so much information on it, that my mind was definitely boggled!! However, her handout is very helpful, and her explanations and examples also very clear. I’ll be watching this again with DNA sites & WIKItree open on my 2nd monitor and work things out, step by step. Excellent webinar, absolutely stellar.
This is definitely one that I will be reviewing. Great materials and presentation.
This is hard for me to rate because, although I did my DNA with Ancestry, I haven’t gone into it technically. So, I ended up writing down terms and resources to look up — but not totally following the presentation. I think it was probably a great presentation if I knew more about the types and use of DNA.
This webinar was very timely since I am taking a YDNA test to join a surname DNA group project. I’m also going to watch a previous webinar to learn more about WikiTree.
This webinar was wonderful. I have not been on Wikitree for a long time. I will have to check it out again. I love learning more about DNA too. We need more FUN in our lives. Thanks so much for the info.
Very easy to follow – she does get excited and talk fast however!! I will watch again when I can have my info on the screen to help me fo
Very good

Wonderful presentation! A bit above my head 🙂 but I learned new things and some great new sources! I loved Mags!!
Wonderful webinar on surname and DNA projects.
Would have liked even more! Please consider a part one and part two. Mags had a lot more to share. Thank you.
Would love to have the time to do this type of work – sounds like a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. Thank you.
Wow! I’m ready to see what new discoveries I can make! Thank you!
WOW! So much more to learn. A few good review of lots and lots of research avenues.
Wow. My head is spinning from all the information.
WOW. SO MUCH TO LEARN.
