What attendees on the previous Family Tree DNA Bootcamp had to say about the experience:
A big thank you to Michelle, I enjoyed every minute of the DNA Bootcamp. It made me realise just how much I didn't know… Thank you for what was a most enjoyable experience. Chris
First off, it was a great series of talks. As a relative novice to DNA genealogy, who has been feeling his way, it was a marvellous exposure to what is possible… would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the subject in a coherent way. David
Thank you very much for putting on the Boot Camp. I learnt a lot, thought it was well presented and appreciate the notes for future reference! Yvonne
Would just like to say how much we’ve enjoyed the bootcamp. Wow how knowledgeable Michelle is, absolutely brilliant. Jenny
