To the List: An article by Alan Savin was recently published on the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) website. It is the first of a series about using DNA in genealogy: "Genetic Genealogy: An Introduction". Alan Savin has been a genealogist since 1986 and initiated the world's first DNA surname study in 1997. In the year 2000 he published the book DNA for Family Historians. www.newenglandancestors.org/education/articles/research/special_topics/genet ics/genetics_intro.asp As interest may appear, I continue to maintain a nascent KNOWLTON surname project at the following site: www.ftdna.com/public/knowlton%20surname/ Regards, Carlisle Knowlton Connecticut
