Lustenberger, CG, presenting a lecture entitled “Using DNA in Your Genealogical Research” Anita Anderson Lustenberger, CG, is a certified genealogist specializing in the Hudson Valley. She is also a certified genetic counselor. She has lectured at many local, regional, and national conferences, and has had articles published in national journals. She is a trustee of NYG&B, NEHGS and a former trustee of APG. DNA analysis can pick up where the paper trail ends. It is not a substitute for traditional research but it is a very useful new tool that can supplement it. If the studies are constructed correctly, DNA analysis can test hypotheses, confirm lineages, and suggest where the genealogist should focus future research. This GSNJ program is free of charge and open to the general public. Reservations are suggested in order to ensure adequate seating. Please send email to: art.lawton@att.net by November 7, 2003. Special Collections & University Archives, Alexander Library, at Rutgers University will be open from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. The GSNJ's collections and Special Collections' genealogical materials will be available during this time for use by meeting attendees.
