Learn to Do the DNA Step-by-Step at Your DNA Guide–the Academy
One-time DNA classes and webinars can kick-start your DNA education, but they don’t provide sustained support. Truly successful DNA learning requires TIME to process and PRACTICE to master the concepts. You need to build on your knowledge, with step-by-step instruction and practice. You need help when you get stuck–and sometimes a quick expert peek at your work.
Your DNA Guide—the Academy offers a more extensive, hands-on approach to a truly effective, confident genetic genealogy education. My students find DNA answers! Like missing birth relatives or ancestors—or at least connections that will eventually lead to them.
What People are Saying about Your DNA Guide Academy Experiences
LOVE, love, love your course! You’ve done it–made a Zoom course highly interactive with well-thought out examples….Just the right pace and your slides and visuals are always a joy to see.
I love having steps to follow and clear instructions on how to stay organized and on track.
Excellent class with great graphics to illustrate points.
AWESOME as Diahan always is! I always learn something new. I continue to be in awe of her kindness in teaching skills. She encourages and motivates novices through experts with such style and grace. Her knowledge base is phenomenal.

YDNA for Genealogy Course
YDNA testing can reveal deep geographic origins and also genetic connections dating back much further than the 5 generations revealed by autosomal DNA. Learn to understand what your YDNA is telling you–and to use YDNA testing effectively to answer specific questions about paternal lines (recent or ancestral).
