    Great webinar! What encouraged me to listen to the whole thing was a photo with a plaque of the village of Sojkówek, because it's my grandmother's place of origin. I heard a great story that convinced me to do an autosomal test.

    How about asking Dave to do a seminar on how he organizes his information, especially his trees, which he says he does as Word doc?

    Dave Obee is a fantastic speaker, an encourager. You don't have to be in the same part of the world to use these techniques, but it's inspiring to see someone get it done when migrations and changes make history foggy.

    I wish there could have been more information given on his strategies for DNA testing and maybe names of researchers he used in the various countries.
