Next, into the 21st century we go with a detailed article on DNA testing and its use for the genealogist. Then, based on your feedback, we present
a new section: "Handy Sites of the Month" which will be an ongoing feature detailing and providing links to the most useful and unique
genealogy sites we encountered that month. Join us as we explore four such sites.

What's New?
Work on the new familyhistoryplace.net continues. At this point we don't have an exact time for the launch of the new version. We're likely targeting fall 2008.
