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
A lot to take in but loved the representation of where an older removed cousin was in the tree

Diahan is always great
Diahan is always great! Thank you!
Diahan is always great, but today, for the first time, I realized maybe why she’s so good at explaining DNA. She has the letters D, N & A in first name!
Diahan is always the greatest. Easy to understand . Tons of information given to follow thru with at a later date.
Diahan is always very informative — and entertaining!!
Diahan is always wonderful — informative and encouraging!
Diahan is an encyclopedia of genetic and genealogy information.
Diahan is one of the most accomplished presenters ever. She talks to us as if we were having coffee rather than instructor/learner. She quickly understands questions, supplies targeted answers, and her graphics send the concept home to your brain. I bought her book and read cover to cover, going back and forth between sections, which is not always easy and I did not get it all on first read. But I have it and can refer to it and it HELPS a great deal. It is written just like she presents.
Diahan is so wonderful! I never tire of listening to her because she has new insights and comments every time she speaks, and, she uncomplicates her knowledge making it accessible to all. Thanks to all of you for the work that you put into bringing this information to us.
Diahan is such a brilliant presenter. Even with my good knowledge of genetic genealogy, I still learn something.
Diahan is wonderful at making DNA understandable! I learned more new information today.
Diahan never fails to amze. And she’s my cousin so I can bask in her glory every time I recommend Diahan’s webinar, website, and book to my fellow researchers.
Diahan Southard is an energetic and interesting presenter.
Diahan’s Q&A webinars this year have been great. Love the Q&A format and Diahan’s visuals are always wonderful.
Diahann is always great! Just reupped my subscription.
Diahann is always great!!
Diahan’s teaching methods are so helpful, since she shows the basics and moves on from there. I like her encouragement to keep learning and working on our DNA genealogy skills.
Diana is the best speaker of DNA. So knowledgeable.
Diane is an excellent instructor! Thank you!!!
Diane is awesome. I always have both an aha moment and learn something new.
Diane is such a knowledgeable expert on DNA.
Diane is very knowledgable, enjoyed her webinar.
Diann is always wonderful and so informative.
DNA is so complicated, but each webinar helps me absorb a little more .
Each time I listen/watch a webinar on this subject, I learn something new. It’s like learning a new language…..to learn it, you have to put yourself into a situation where you are exposed to it. Thank you for all the work you do!
Encouraging!
Especially liked the sections on Gedcom, snps & STR, and Native American. Overall I learned SO much about multiple different things that was new info for me even though I have done multiple Diahan webinars before today. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
eventually, I just may understand DNA
everything is clearly explain and the graphics are so helpful
Excellent
excellent = always enjoy her talks
Excellent information
Excellent information! Thank you!
Excellent more detailed content. I especially liked the chart that she had going to the 3 and 4 times great grandparents for 2nd to 4th cousins and talking about the once removed, twice removed. I know the information, but to see the guide sheet was a great visual!!!
excellent presentation
Excellent presentation! Great speaker – very easy to understand and extremely informative.
Excellent Presentation. Has added to my limited knowledge and provided steps going forward.

Excellent, please ask her to do more webinars!

Excellent. Love the format.

Excellent. Keep having her on, I need to learn much more.
Excellent…learned so much. Thank you.

Great presentation!
Great presentation, as usual. Thanks for the section on 23 and Me. I haven’t tested there, but my daughter did, and this will help me explain things to her. Also, thanks for the information about websites to use for the haplogroup information.
Great presentation. Good ideas for further efforts. Well laid out good graphics and great enthusiasm.
Great Q & A as always. Very helpful visuals about relationships and “removed” especially. I always seem to have to sit down and graph them out.
Great source of information on DNA!
Great speaker. Very helpful.
Great webinar but will have to re-watch as I missed about 15 minutes when my cat escaped and I had to go chase him down. He’s home & safe and now I have to see the webinar again soon. Thanks.
great webinar learnt heaps
Great Webinar!
Great webinar! It was good to know that I haven’t wasted time building over 20 trees building genetic networks. Diahan’s webinars always teaches me something new and helps me to go farther back and out in my genealogy research. Thank you Legacy.
Great webinar!!!!
Great webinar. Diahan is always very upbeat and has great explanations and graphics.
Great!!
Great. Very informative. Thank you.
had o leave for 3pm meeting – but it was good – and I might join your service
Her presentation answered quite a number of questions that I’ve had for quite a while. Diahan did so in such an understandable manner.
I always enjoy Diahan’s Q and A sessions. She’s answered one of my questions in a previous session. I will send another one in based on today’s webinar in hopes that she will be invited back in 2021 for another/more Q&A.
I always learn a lot when Diahann lectures.!! The web pages for haplogroups will be helpful.
I always learn from Diahan, even when she reviews previous material. I may think of things in a slightly different way. I appreciate the live lessons.
I always learn more about DNA testing and what the results mean from each of Diahan Southard’s live webinars. I also learn about the different types of information that is available from the different types of DNA tests. She is one of my favorite presenters and I try to listen to her webinars when I can.
I always learn something from Diahan!!
I always learn something new from Diahan’s webinars. Thanks.
I always learn something new when I listen to Diahan. She explains very complex information in a clear and understandable way.
I am enjoying the session. Had an unexpected situation to address.
I am just learning about DNA tracing. I would like to watch this webinar a second or maybe even a third time, I started out taking notes but it was taking away from absorbing what Diahan was explaining so I stopped.
I enjoy the Q & A. I learn much. Thanks
I have come away with more knowledge of DNA but I still have a long way to go. to fully understand.
I have got to watch it again! There was so much useful information that I could not let it all sink in! Great job!
I have sooo much to learn
I have watched all her DNA webinars. As usual, I received lots and lots of new ideas and tips. Thank you for having her. I hope you continue to have Q&A sessions with her during 2021. This is a complicated subject, yet she is absolutely wonderful about explaining in ways we can understand. She sure would make a great classroom teacher. Sure wish I had had her for all my biology courses.
I have watched several of Diahan’s webinars. Always great!
I learned a lot of new info. It was a little over my head in some place but was very interesting.
I learned lots about the different aspects of DNA identification and searching. Many thanks.
I love all of Diahan’s presentations. She is a wonderful presenter and puts everything into such relatable terms.
I loved Diahan’s enthusiasm, visual aids, dedication to the field, and to helping others. Thank you! ¡Mil gracias! 🙂
I loved it ! It was easy to follow, and I had questions she answered and I didn’t know how to ask!
i ned to watch again to catch everything
I need a slower course. There was so much information and so fast I didn’t stay caught up well.
I plan to review it when it is posted. I learned a lot, but I also had several interruptions and I want to make sure I get everything right.
I really learned a lot about using DNA data from ancestry companies. Today’s webinar has encouraged me to do more with the results from the several companies that I have tested with. The information about GEDmatch was very helpful and can be used to make an informed decision about whether to upload data.
I really like the question and answer format. I need to get some help with my particular situation.
I received so much valuable info from Diahan. The explanations with the screen shots are important. This was my first live webinar.
I think she is fantastic and taught us well, thank you. I especially learned a lot about the 23 and me site and how to search the composition pages!
I’m a fan! I going to listen to the rest of her webinars and I will order the book.
I’m sure that if I keep trying I will be able to learn DNA. I learned what removed means today.
It was great
It was very informative. I wish there was more time for questions.
I’ve become a junky on her talks – can’t get enough of them. Clearly stated – wonderful presentation.
Lightbulb moment!! Thank you!
Logically presented. Now I understand more about how cousin relationships, the cMs, and the shared matches all work together. Thanks, Diahan — you’re the best!
Lots of information such as different sites to research Dna information. Diane is a great presenter.
lots of things to learn ! thanks.
Love Diahan…I think I will be getting her book. She’s just such a wealth of info and lays it out so visually to make more sense.
Love Diahann’s enthusiasm ! Se has a way of explaining that is very clear, and that never implies that a question is less than important. Could have listened to hours more of this one!
Love Diahan’s enthusiasm, and easy-to-understand information… More, please 🙂
Love her attitude about DNA!
Love listening as I learn so much.
Love the Q&A webinars. How about doing this maybe once a month. Besides DNA, you could do documents, apps tech questions.
M-Fri please
Mostly reinforced what I learned at her last webinar. She is the best.
Ms. Southard’s the best
Need the book. This was great and informative. Thank you
once again I have been made to realize that I need to watch more beginning webinars!!!!!
One of the most valuable presentations provided. Would like it at least once a month.
Outstanding as usual. Always something to learn and she teaches it so well
Outstanding!
Outstanding!!
Perhaps have Q and A sessions focusing on specific DNA testings- mtDNA, YDNA, atDNA, xDNA. Thanks!
Presenter very knowledgeable and organized. Great charts! Spoke very fast to cover entire topic but no written notes to pick up missed info. Also for first time with Legacy, couldn’t find a way to adjust volume to quieter level. Still, very good presentation. Helpful. Finally getting to understand DNA and Haplogroups better-Thank you for that!
She is always fantastic. Hope she comes frequently in 2021.
She is always on point, so easy to understand. Light bulb moment today for sure!! Thanks
She is excellent at explaining.
she is just so great and helpful to non science people.
She is the best at explaining DNA.
She is THE best with her presentation graphics explaining a question or topic, then following the path to the answer to the answer or point she’s making. Diahann is brilliant, actually, but so practical in her approach to educating….
She is wonderful. This stuff is finally beginning to sink in!
She is, as always, amazing! So much helpful information and explained so clearly!
She was great and for me as a beginner
She was great and presented it in a way that was not way above our pay grade.
She’s always clear, quick and enthusiastic. Great content.
She’s the best
slowly making more sense and expanding my family tree – thank you
so much content I will watch again
So much helpful information !!!
So much to absorb!
Some of it was over my head but I did learn a few things about DNA. Now need to see how it fits with my Ancestry DNA.
Such a brilliant woman but even more so as she offers explanations for such a complicated topic with exceptional clarity. Thank you very much. TLC
Super (as always). What a smart lady!
Thank you for answering my question. It was a great insight and helpful.
Thank you so much for providing these webinars for a retired lady on fixed income. They mean a lot.
Thank you so much! Always love listening to Diahann, I learn something new every time.
Thanks for your help. A lot of the information is above my understanding but I find that listening helps me to raise my understanding so very much. I love your book and it has helped me answer several questions.
Thanks.
The Best, pleased to hear Diane anytime. Thanks again.
This covered a lot of ground making it interesting for a diverse, large audience. As one might expect, depth of analysis necessarily suffers.
This is definitely a 2-watcher (have to watch it again)!
This was a great webinar and I learned so much. I can’t wait to go back and listen to previous webinars and learn even more.
This was a great webinar, filled with so much information. Thank you.
This was explained so well!
This was great. I loved all the links tool
This was the absolute most informative webinar I have attended. Diahan”s delivery was very easy to follow and understand.
this was very useful still need make sure i digest it
Very good and helpful!
Very good explanations! Especially about the cousin relationships. I haven’t done a lot with DNA, except take the tests, but I find your information fascinating.
Very helpful
Very informative
Very informative about DNA!
Very informative thank you
Very interesting but I had to leave early. Will watch again to try to absorb it better and finish it out. Thanks Diahan! I love her visual explanations.
Very interesting but sometimes confusing to a newbie like me. Had no idea what BigYDNA and snp is, for example. Thanks though for a very interesting webinar.
Very interesting webinar. It was just too far above my head by the time it was 3/4 completed.
Very interesting. I am just getting started with DNA research and have a lot to learn.
Very Interesting.. I am new to dna,, A lot was over my head but I will go to some beginning dna webinars.
Well done.
Well prepared and just right for all level of knowledge.
with the exception of the section dealing with BigY — which I found incomprehensible — talk was very good
Wonderful explanations
Wonderful presentation. Thanks
Wonderful, as always!
wow really good
Wow! I have just started getting into DNA so I need to go back to earlier webinars, but I got the drift of what she covered. Now I see the importance of 3rd cousin, etc. in matches! I’ll be interested in seeing if this helps me clear up some of the roadblocks. Hope Diahan does more in 2021!
WOW! I LOVE these Q&A webinars by Diahan! I always learn a lot. Please have more!!!!!!! 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.

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.

I always learn from Diahan, even when she reviews previous material. I may think of things in a slightly different way. I appreciate the live lessons.
I always learn more about DNA testing and what the results mean from each of Diahan Southard’s live webinars. I also learn about the different types of information that is available from the different types of DNA tests. She is one of my favorite presenters and I try to listen to her webinars when I can.
I always learn something from Diahan!!
I always learn something new from Diahan’s webinars. Thanks.
I always learn something new when I listen to Diahan. She explains very complex information in a clear and understandable way.
I am enjoying the session. Had an unexpected situation to address.
I am just learning about DNA tracing. I would like to watch this webinar a second or maybe even a third time, I started out taking notes but it was taking away from absorbing what Diahan was explaining so I stopped.
I enjoy the Q & A. I learn much. Thanks
I have come away with more knowledge of DNA but I still have a long way to go. to fully understand.
I have got to watch it again! There was so much useful information that I could not let it all sink in! Great job!
I have sooo much to learn
I have watched all her DNA webinars. As usual, I received lots and lots of new ideas and tips. Thank you for having her. I hope you continue to have Q&A sessions with her during 2021. This is a complicated subject, yet she is absolutely wonderful about explaining in ways we can understand. She sure would make a great classroom teacher. Sure wish I had had her for all my biology courses.
I have watched several of Diahan’s webinars. Always great!
I learned a lot of new info. It was a little over my head in some place but was very interesting.
I learned lots about the different aspects of DNA identification and searching. Many thanks.
I love all of Diahan’s presentations. She is a wonderful presenter and puts everything into such relatable terms.
I loved Diahan’s enthusiasm, visual aids, dedication to the field, and to helping others. Thank you! ¡Mil gracias! 🙂
I loved it ! It was easy to follow, and I had questions she answered and I didn’t know how to ask!
i ned to watch again to catch everything
I need a slower course. There was so much information and so fast I didn’t stay caught up well.
I plan to review it when it is posted. I learned a lot, but I also had several interruptions and I want to make sure I get everything right.
I really learned a lot about using DNA data from ancestry companies. Today’s webinar has encouraged me to do more with the results from the several companies that I have tested with. The information about GEDmatch was very helpful and can be used to make an informed decision about whether to upload data.
I really like the question and answer format. I need to get some help with my particular situation.
I received so much valuable info from Diahan. The explanations with the screen shots are important. This was my first live webinar.
I think she is fantastic and taught us well, thank you. I especially learned a lot about the 23 and me site and how to search the composition pages!
I’ll need to watch several times but really good!
I’m a fan! I going to listen to the rest of her webinars and I will order the book.
I’m sure that if I keep trying I will be able to learn DNA. I learned what removed means today.
It was great
It was very informative. I wish there was more time for questions.
I’ve become a junky on her talks – can’t get enough of them. Clearly stated – wonderful presentation.
Lightbulb moment!! Thank you!
Logically presented. Now I understand more about how cousin relationships, the cMs, and the shared matches all work together. Thanks, Diahan — you’re the best!
Lots of information such as different sites to research Dna information. Diane is a great presenter.
lots of things to learn ! thanks.
Love Diahan…I think I will be getting her book. She’s just such a wealth of info and lays it out so visually to make more sense.
Love Diahann’s enthusiasm ! Se has a way of explaining that is very clear, and that never implies that a question is less than important. Could have listened to hours more of this one!
Love Diahan’s enthusiasm, and easy-to-understand information… More, please 🙂
Love her attitude about DNA!
Love listening as I learn so much.
Love the Q&A webinars. How about doing this maybe once a month. Besides DNA, you could do documents, apps tech questions.
M-Fri please
Mostly reinforced what I learned at her last webinar. She is the best.
Ms. Southard’s the best
Need the book. This was great and informative. Thank you
once again I have been made to realize that I need to watch more beginning webinars!!!!!
One of the most valuable presentations provided. Would like it at least once a month.
Outstanding as usual. Always something to learn and she teaches it so well
Outstanding!
Outstanding!!
Perhaps have Q and A sessions focusing on specific DNA testings- mtDNA, YDNA, atDNA, xDNA. Thanks!
Presenter very knowledgeable and organized. Great charts! Spoke very fast to cover entire topic but no written notes to pick up missed info. Also for first time with Legacy, couldn’t find a way to adjust volume to quieter level. Still, very good presentation. Helpful. Finally getting to understand DNA and Haplogroups better-Thank you for that!
She is always fantastic. Hope she comes frequently in 2021.
She is always on point, so easy to understand. Light bulb moment today for sure!! Thanks
She is excellent at explaining.
she is just so great and helpful to non science people.
She is the best at explaining DNA.
She is THE best with her presentation graphics explaining a question or topic, then following the path to the answer to the answer or point she’s making. Diahann is brilliant, actually, but so practical in her approach to educating….
She is wonderful. This stuff is finally beginning to sink in!
She is, as always, amazing! So much helpful information and explained so clearly!
She was great and for me as a beginner
She was great and presented it in a way that was not way above our pay grade.
She’s always clear, quick and enthusiastic. Great content.
She’s the best
slowly making more sense and expanding my family tree – thank you
so much content I will watch again
So much helpful information !!!
So much to absorb!
Some of it was over my head but I did learn a few things about DNA. Now need to see how it fits with my Ancestry DNA.
Such a brilliant woman but even more so as she offers explanations for such a complicated topic with exceptional clarity. Thank you very much. TLC
Super (as always). What a smart lady!
Thank you for answering my question. It was a great insight and helpful.
Thank you so much for providing these webinars for a retired lady on fixed income. They mean a lot.
Thank you so much! Always love listening to Diahann, I learn something new every time.
Thanks for your help. A lot of the information is above my understanding but I find that listening helps me to raise my understanding so very much. I love your book and it has helped me answer several questions.
Thanks.
The Best, pleased to hear Diane anytime. Thanks again.
This covered a lot of ground making it interesting for a diverse, large audience. As one might expect, depth of analysis necessarily suffers.
This is definitely a 2-watcher (have to watch it again)!
This was a great webinar and I learned so much. I can’t wait to go back and listen to previous webinars and learn even more.
This was a great webinar, filled with so much information. Thank you.
This was explained so well!
This was great. I loved all the links tool
This was the absolute most informative webinar I have attended. Diahan”s delivery was very easy to follow and understand.
this was very useful still need make sure i digest it
Very good and helpful!
Very good explanations! Especially about the cousin relationships. I haven’t done a lot with DNA, except take the tests, but I find your information fascinating.
Very helpful
Very informative
Very informative about DNA!
Very informative thank you
Very interesting but I had to leave early. Will watch again to try to absorb it better and finish it out. Thanks Diahan! I love her visual explanations.
Very interesting but sometimes confusing to a newbie like me. Had no idea what BigYDNA and snp is, for example. Thanks though for a very interesting webinar.
Very interesting webinar. It was just too far above my head by the time it was 3/4 completed.
Very interesting. I am just getting started with DNA research and have a lot to learn.
Very Interesting.. I am new to dna,, A lot was over my head but I will go to some beginning dna webinars.
Well done.
Well prepared and just right for all level of knowledge.
with the exception of the section dealing with BigY — which I found incomprehensible — talk was very good
Wonderful explanations
Wonderful presentation. Thanks
Wonderful, as always!
wow really good
Wow! I have just started getting into DNA so I need to go back to earlier webinars, but I got the drift of what she covered. Now I see the importance of 3rd cousin, etc. in matches! I’ll be interested in seeing if this helps me clear up some of the roadblocks. Hope Diahan does more in 2021!
WOW! I LOVE these Q&A webinars by Diahan! I always learn a lot. Please have more!!!!!!! Thank you!
You need a “6” or maybe a “10” for Diahan
