“I highly recommend Research Like a Pro with DNA. What I love about the RLP study groups (I've participated in two), is that they are principle-based and project-based. You learn by doing a project of your own choosing (which gives great flexibility depending on how much time you can devote to class), but what you learn about planning, organization, research, report writing and citations can (and should!) be applied to any project. Because it is project-based, it is appropriate for any background or ability level. The class sessions provided information about all major DNA analysis tools and how to use them, then we each figured out what tools would be helpful for our particular projects. Instruction from Nicole, Diana, and Robin was well-organized and recorded so participant can go back and review anything you might not have grasped the first time. Our weekly mentoring sessions (small group discussion) provided a place for feedback, advice, problem-solving and a chance to see how other tools can be applied to genealogical questions, and were a valuable part of the course. The instructors and mentors create a supportive, friendly, and fun learning environment. I came into the class with a 40 year old question, a few disorganized genealogical records, and a couple of distant cousins identified. I left with a 45 page, fully cited paper showing my immigrant ancestor's family of origin (parents, full and half-siblings) in which an indirect traditional proof argument was fully and coherently supported by DNA findings and analysis.”

“I highly recommend the RLP study group course. I had previously bought the book, and attempted the method with some success; however, l ran out of steam somewhere around learning about source citations. Having a class structure, and accountability was helpful. Having the instructors, and our class mentors, to ask questions of and receive feedback from, was key to getting through the points that I knew were important for quality research, but were complicated and intimidating. I also learned a lot from reviewing classmates' work. Our study group was occurring just as the pandemic hit, and I was unable to do any research outside my house. Making a research plan under challenging conditions was critical. I was able to quickly focus on what I COULD do now, and put other ideas in my future research plans, and still make good progress because I was focused. Don't hesitate to sign up for this class. I feel that it was a very good investment in my education, and fun! I may do it again!”
