Diahan Southard knows firsthand what a difference it can make to know where you came from. What started off as an educational and career interest in genetic genealogy became deeply personal when she used DNA to discover her mom’s birth parents and
++++ OUTSTANDING. Don’t think there is any better person to explain DNA
A little bit too advanced for me.
A real winner-Spectacular and so easy to understand.
Again, Diahan explains complicated processes so well with her analogies. A couple new words or concepts for me today. I’d love to see how she takes the theory to a spreadsheet/chart to analyze. I’ve seen various methods and processes. A step by step from each site would be great. I know the data can be downloaded, but opening it up and setting up the spreadsheet (the decisions) is where I start to get muddled. Then adding data from other sites.
Always a wonderful webinar when Diahan presents; very clear and the graphics help. Thank you.
Always educational and demystifying!
Always enjoy Diahan and how she makes DNA more understandable and usable in family research.
Always excellent! I keep learning new things long after I thought I knew it all, lol…
Always excellent!!
Always excellent. I learn something new from Diahan every time!
Always great info from this presenter!

Amazing information. Diahan is so good at giving information in such an understandable manner!
An amazing ability to explain complicated topics simply. I’d normally nod off in a webinar like this. Not with Diahan!
As always I learn so much from her lectures/webinars. Thank you so much.
As always, Diahan Southard imparts a large amount of information in a short time but makes it understandable. Her enthusiasm for this subject is evident, and she’s a wonderful presenter.
As always, I learned something new and will come back to rewatch so I can put into practice different aspects of this webinar. Thank you Diane.
As always, informative & motivating!
As usual Diahan gave a great presentation with great diagrams. I will be updating my personal genealogy to my 2 DNA sites soon. Also need to practice the things she show us how to.
as usual Diahan is great!
awesome
Awesome as always. Looking forward to the webinar in December.
AWESOME as Diahan always is!!! I have been fortunate to attend Diahan’s live presentations and have watched many webinars (beginning in 2016 – I think) with Diahan; but, I always learn something new. I continue to be in awe of her kindness in teaching skills. She encourages and motivates novices through experts with such style and grace. Her knowledge base is phenomenal! Thank you to all for making this happen!
AWESOME she explains DNA is a non science way so helpful!!
awesome talk Diahan, useful explanations and very entertaining. thanks Geoff for organising
Awesome! I try never to miss Dian’s presentations because I learn so much.
Awesome!! So much good information and she makes it easier to understand
Brilliant webinar which has answered some of my DNA question.
Can’t wait till December for her next webinar
Certainly, Ms. Southard should be rated well beyond a “5” !!! Both her depth of knowledge AND her ability to synthesize is beyond words. Simply stated :: she is FANTASTIC.
Definitely got new tools to work with. Hope I can figure how to actually get results with them.
Diahan always explains things in a way that is easily understood and then is easy to apply to my own work.
Diahan always presents very well.
Diahan always speaks so clearly, has great screens, and is so well organized. I always learn a great deal.

Diahan is so good!!!
Diahan is the BEST!
Diahan is the best.
Diahan is wonderful! I love the way she makes things clear for non-scientists. My favorite today was the 12 year old girl analogy. I have raised 2 daughters and my granddaughters are 13 and 15! Diahan you are in my prayers!
Diahan was excellent as usual. She explains things so well! I love all of the examples that she gives to illustrate the points that she is making.
Diahann does an excellent job with explaining DNA. I am beginning to understand DNA more and more with her webinars.
Diahann has a great way of presenting a very complex and confusing topic in easy to understand illustrations and words.
Diahan’s analogies are very helpful in explaining DNA concepts. I also like the speed that she moves through the material.
Diane is always a font of knowledge!
Dianne is so good!
Dihan is the best speaker. She takes complex info and boils it down into simple terms and desciptions with a powerful delivery. I love learning from her.
Each webinar tops the last. I learn something new every time I hear Diahne speak.
Enjoyed the presentation even though DNA is somewhat mind boggling, but I’ll keep listening, reading and working at it. Thank you. : )
Every time I attend one of your webinars I pickup more tools to investigate. Thanks for your time today.

Fantastic_ I always learn so much from Diahan’s presentations. Please come back for some more in-depth presentations.
Great analogies and also very good info on delving into the background on the Shared cM Project, as well as the Ancestry ethnicity estimates.
Great as always
Great explanations today!
Great help!
Great info!
Great information once again from Diahan Southard!!
Great presentation.
Great session. Diahan is so clear and has beautiful straightforward illustrations and examples.
Great session. Got answers to questions I didn’t know that I had! 😀
Great to get some answers about Ancestry’s new ethnicity calculations. My first look at mine had me saying “I don’t think so”.
Great webinar on answering DNA questions.
Great webinar.
Great!!
Great, as always! Thank you!!!
Have watch a second maybe third time because we covered so many different concepts.
Her use of the visual charts to explain makes her presentations very understandable. She is an excellent communicator.
I always learn new tips and tricks from Diahann’s webinars!
I always learn so much with Diahan Southard. Now to try to apply it!! Thanks for putting on these informative webinars.
I gained more clarity on using DNA to make sure I am looking at the correct matches and why some matches are there and may not necessarily be by Genetic match.
I have got to get to watching more of the DNA webinars! I am falling behind. I have some catching up to do, that is for sure. I am especially interested in the other Q & A sessions. Good job, today!!!!
I liked he explanations ie to the weather. That I understood. SO good to hear an entire upbeat presentation.
I liked the half 1cousin example
I love these DNA Questions and Answers! So helpful, I always learn so much. Thank you, thankyou!
I love these Q&A webinars by Diahan! Great information that is well presented and explained! More, please!!!! Thanks!
I loved the timber analogy. It helped to understand the concept much better. I’m still confused about some things so will need to study it a little more.
I need to learn all I can so this was good. I need to learn how to interpet the numbers that you get from FTDNA on the big Y test. It shows numbers and locations and if anyone with the same numbers match you as far as if you are decended from the same person. I need to learn much more about this. Thank you
I really appreciated the explanation about Timber and the 1000 times. It explains a lot. Many thanks to Diahan – I always love listening to her.
I signed in late but since I am a member, I can listen to the entire presentation. Thanks to Diahan for her answering our questions.
I started late and had to take a couple of calls. Hoping to watch it again soonest. Thanks.
I teach classes on DNA and appreciate her in-depth topics such as dealing with what I call orphan clusters — shared match groups that have a common ancestor that is not in your family tree.
I was late attending, another tasks but what heard was very informative. Thanks for the reminders
I will have to review this again the presentation was wonderful . I’m fairly new to DNA. Great job Diahan thanks
I’m a repeat participant in Diahan’s webinars, and I always learn something new or a new angle that I can apply to my work with genetic genealogy! Through her webinars and her book, Diahan has become my mentor!
I’m sorry to have missed part of it. Dianne does such a good job of explaining DNA on a level that everyone can understand. Thank you!
Informative, but I have no living relatives. Hence cant go any further.
It seems that I always listen to a first class presenter when I listen to one of your webinars. I did not realise that I was able to pick out the best of the best so consistently.
It was wonderful. So helpful!!! love it. Thank you.
Keep picking up more things with each DNA webinar
learned TONS! love it!
Like many others, I learn something(s) new every time I listen to Diahan. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Like you both said, each time attending a DNA workshop one learns more. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Think I will become a member. I have gained so much from watching these webinars which have been hosted by Marion County History and Genealogy group in Indy for us for quite awhile (back when we met in person “”sans masks.”” Hope some of my friends also attended, I emailed them the info. on this amazing seminar.
Loads of information to resolve ancestor roadblocks

She is so very good at explaining complicated things understandably. What a gift!!
She is the best!
She is wonderful! Explanations are on a level we all can understand. Love the examples of the predictability of ethnicity with the “weather” predictability. Helped me understand why the companies differ.
She is wonderful! Really has the gift of explaining concepts so that they are easy to understand
she’s a great speaker
So helpful, Diahan has a way of explaining things with graphics that make it much easier to understand. Great presentation-Thanks!
So helpful. You explain concepts so clearly. Thanks
So much information in such a short time. I learn more every time I hear her speak! I did really like the weather and math examples to correlate! Can’t wait to look up my ethnicity range percentages again.
So much to learn and Diahan really explains it so anyone can understand!
Still learning about DNA…………. Keep up the good work!

Very informative. Well planned, logical.
Very interesting, but often a bit over my head (for now).
Very interesting, pace was a bit fast but i guess it is the only way to cover all the material. Thank you!
Very interesting…. think I learned quite a bit.
We need a 10 button for Diahan – she is a ten
Webinars through Legacy is the best investment I’ve ever made to help me learn. Thank you. Diahan is a great explainer of DNA.
Well presented. I learned about some features in MyHeritage and FTDNA that I didn’t know before. Many thanks.
wow so much info appreciate her knowledge and love her enthusiasm
wow wow great
You used some very effective examples to make your ideas much more understandable. Thank you.
Ever stared at your DNA match list and felt that mix of excitement and dread? There you are, faced with hundreds of genetic cousins, each one holding a piece of your story – but let's be honest, most of us have no clue what to do with all these mysterious relatives. In this straight-to-the-point lecture, we're going beyond the basics of building a DNA Network to tackle the real question that keeps genealogists up at night: "Now that I have all these matches, how do I actually use them?" We'll show you how to transform that overwhelming list into a strategic research tool, navigate the sometimes-murky waters of relationship predictions, and harness practical tools like WATO and BanyanDNA to unlock the family secrets hidden in your genetic code. Fair warning: once you learn to read the stories in your DNA matches, your family tree will never look the same again.

Staying organized in your genetic genealogy research could mean the difference between celebrating the toppling of a brick wall, and beating your head against that same brick wall. Let's chat about how our DNA testing companies are making it even easier for you to keep your DNA organized in 2023.

Despite his best efforts, Geoff Rasmussen's long standing brick wall hasn't come down yet. John Williams, born in New York City between 1840-1854, was the son of John Williams. Family tradition says that "he was orphaned at the age of 10 and shifted around until he was 16". Geoff thinks it's time to add a little genetic genealogy to his plan. On hand to help him develop this DNA plan is DNA expert Diahan Southard. Join us and learn techniques that you can apply to your own family tree.

The Only Thing You Need to Know About DNA and Genealogy
Often the more we learn about a topic the more we overcomplicate the application of that knowledge. Sometimes we need to step back and distill that knowledge down to just the essential parts to make it useful and actionable. Let's try that with DNA.
