AsGeoff says, there is always something new to learn. She gives some great insights as to why folks don’t respond, and ends with a suggested ‘letter’ to send. Great info throughout.

Great presenter, would like more presentations from her.
Great reminders and tips on working with DNA matches
Great slides! Great Q. A.
Great tips
Great tips for searching. I contacted one person who had many of the same people in his tree but some incorrect information. I emailed him over five years ago, and he just responded this past year. It turns out that his wife is the granddaughter of my great uncle and actually remembers her grandfather. We are sharing the research, information, etc. As I am adopted, this has been a wonderful adventure. -So it is never to late to respond.
Great! Get Michelle back again anytime!
Great, clear presentation with lots of logical information about how to approach things. The syllabus and suggested resources will be very helpful.
I am new to DNA information, so some wording was new to me. Did agree that you need more than one source to verify your ancestor.
I am one of those who only do their genealogy once a month or more so Michelle has inspired me to get back on track. I am grateful for the sites she provided.
I enjoy all the webinars including this one. Unfortunately I sometimes have a hard time thinking as fast as the person is talking so I’m very grateful for having a membership at Legacy family search so I can listen to the recorded webinars again and again. They are very very helpful. Really enjoyed this one. Lots of good info can’t wait to get using it. Grateful for the Syllabuses as well. I’m a paper person so I always print and keep them. Thank you.
I learned many tips about drilling deeper..thank you!
