A lot to absorb but very well done. Will be watching again.
A very knowledgeable speaker who explains in terms everyone can understand. Will watch the webinar again for additional hints. Great webinar!!
Absolutely superb!
Always enjoy Diahan’s webinars. Need a money tree to have my husband’s YDNA test done.
Always learn new information and very useful with Diahan Southard’s talks! Thank you!
Always learn so much from Diahan Southard webinars!
Amazing amount of information! Didn’t find what I was looking for but will watch repeat in case I missed something! (I am female, adopted, no known father or paternal line – found my mother & half siblings but no one knew about me before mother died!). Glad I attended, and thank you.
Amazing webinar! Diahan shares her DNA knowledge in such a way that makes it easy to understand and apply.
An excellent presentation, learnt a lot. Thank you Diane
As always, GREAT!
AWESOME! Diahan’s talks are always so user friendly. She has a gift to make complex concepts easy to understand. This webinar helped me to understand Y-DNA realistically without intimidation. I appreciate that she lists the steps in group projects. I’ll need to rewind and spend more time on specific concepts especially the last section. So glad I am an annual member. Thanks to all!
Best presenter on DNA topics I have heard.
Best webinar I ever took. Thank you!

Complicated subject, excellent presenter!! I’ve already made a list of ‘homework’ to do this week on the few DNA tests I have managed to pay for so far. Cheers to you all for supporting the webinars – Best in the genealogy world.
Confusing as all get out, but it is hard to argue how valuable this sort of data is. I am motivated now to do further DNA testing as a result Diahan’s webinar, today.
Definitely one of the best webinars I’ve listened to and one that will need to be revisited more than once to pick up bits and pieces missed the first time through.
Diahan always brings something that I need to understand better, even if I have heard the topic before. She is one of the best!!!!
Diahan is a super presenter…very upbeat and knowledgeable and supremely dynamic! Thank you!
Diahan is the best at making a complicated topic more understandable for the DNA lay person. Her graphics are wonderful!
Diahan’s brain is chock full of DNA knowledge which she can share in such an easy learning style. She has an amazing ability to know how people need to hear and ‘see’ details, using analogies, images, and boundless enthusiasm.
Diane is such a good speaker.
