Family Chronicle Sept/Oct 2010 Issue

Please excuse my enthusiasm.The new issue of Family Chronicle magaine is out. It includes my latest and two other DNA-related articles. The editors choice of the cover illustration reflects just how important a tool DNA analysis is becoming for the genealogist.

Highlighted by the banner at the top of the cover, where it should be noticable even on a crowded newsstand display, the issue incorporates a special section on researching your Irish Ancestors.

Here, from the magazine website at www.familychronicle.com/, is the complete table of contents.

I'm looking forward to reading your article in particular. However, the advertising has prompted me to order my first ever one year subscription to a genealogy magazine. MAS
