The October 8, 2007 edition of the New York Times has an article on seeking Christopher Columbus’s origins through DNA testing. It is rather interesting reading. If you think you’d like to have a DNA test done to help with your ancestry exploration and you’re looking for a comfortable jumping-off point, try the National Geographic’s Genographic Project.

CBS Story on Genetic Genealogy
Neat CBS “60 Minutes” segment on Genetic Genealogy this Sunday evening after the football games. Interesting and informative! If you missed it live, check-out the CBS website. Great quote from the show about the importance of knowing one’s family history: “It’s like discovering American history through yourself.”
