Watch Geoff Live: DNA – free webinar by Geoff Rasmussen and Diahan Southard now online for limited time

2016-04-19-image500blog

Now that was one of the top highlights of my entire genealogy career! Thanks to Diahan Southard and to all of YOU for being there with me as DNA testing really came through for my genealogy brick wall! If you haven't participated in DNA testing for your ancestors, do it TODAY!

The recording of today's webinar, "Watch Geoff Live: DNA" by Geoff Rasmussen and Diahan Southard is now available to view for free for a limited time at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com. 

Webinar Description

Geoff finally did it! He took his first step into the world of DNA and had his two maternal grandparents tested (autosomal tests from AncestryDNA). He recently received the testing results and has waited to explore them – for the first time – in front of a LIVE webinar audience.

You are invited to watch live as his DNA results are revealed. He is hoping that somehow DNA will bring down one of his longest-standing brick walls.

On hand to interpret and explain what Geoff discovers will be DNA expert, webinar presenter, and yourDNAguide.com’s Diahan Southard. Geoff has kept the results hidden from her as well. The result will be a live and unscripted session giving DNA neophyte (like Geoff) viewers a first-hand look at what to expect from their first autosomal DNA test.
