    Fantastic! I came away with some new tricks I just can’t wait to try out! Thank you so much for offering this webinar.

    A lot of information for a beginner, but I am glad I can view it gain.

    A pot of helpful tips there. And reminders of things we often forget.

    A very good webinar

    The presentation was great! I learned things never presented before. Thanks!

    always learn something new!!!

    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.

    Awesome information. A bit overwhelming with no experience in this area. Glad to be able to listen again.

    Confirms many of the research techniques I currently employ, but definitely provided some new angles. Thank you!

    Easy to understand and very interesting

    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!

    I was eating dinner and missed most of the 1st hour the last 25 minutes were great I am going to watch the webinar again later. Thanks!

    It was really good. She was clear, and she gave me a lot of ideas about what I can do with the tools that I have.

    It was very encouraging and I thought the recommendations and examples were great as to how to reach out to people.

    Loved Michelle — so easy to listen to, as well as clear in her presentation. Lots of good info!

    loved the webinar- well-done, easy to follow, good hints.

    Michelle gave a lot of good information. I am a beginner in learning about DNA, so it was all new to me. Thank you.
