Professional Genetic Genealogist Wendy Wilson Spooner said, "My experience in the Advanced DNA course last January at SLIG, was all I had hoped for and could not have been more informative! I was sitting in the forest (camping) last July with my laptop, when registration for the course opened. Need I say how thrilled I was to get in to this highly desired course?

CeCe Moore, Blaine Bettinger and Angie Bush outdid themselves once again. Their instruction style, methodology of working with DNA results, and case study presentations, were professional and inspiring. The syllabus I received for the course is invaluable and has become my 'DNA Bible.' I highly recommend this course to anyone who has taken the beginning/intermediate course, and many thanks to all who worked to make the class available - especially the instructors."
