About this webinar
In this special session, MyHeritage's scientist will break down the science behind DNA – DNA inheritance, how DNA testing actually works, how raw results are analyzed, how DNA matching works and how we are able to find unknown relatives with it and estimate one's ethnic origins. In the second part of the session we will go over DNA results and important tools available on MyHeritage, that can help in researching your family history and identify relatives and relationships.

great webinar!!!
I agree that this is an excellent explanation of DNA. Under the tips & techniques portion, I will have to review that portion to see what I have been missing.
The information was exceptional. It is about the best explanation I have seen or heard of how DNA links relatives. They needed more time to explain and illustrate triangulation, as it is still a bit mysterious to me.
This is fantastic subject matter. It will help me with the people I have DNA for in MyHeritage. I want to watch the other DNA webinars you mentioned.
Thank you for the great info.
Great!
A nice refresher for things I had already learned and glad to hear about the updates on MyHeritage. Liked all the tips from Gal.
Very well presented and explained. Your willingness to help others in the genealogy community is greatly appreciated.
