I think this feature story will be an incredible boost for Genetic Genealogy.  A very brief Newsweek mention of DNA testing as a tool for Genealogy in January 2005 sharply increased interest for several months and almost certainly was an important part of the strong growth in DNA testing lduring 2005.  The National Geographic Genographic Project has given an increased visibility and credibility to Genetic Genealogy with the folks who are interested in science, nature and learning. 

This latest cover story article puts Genetic Genealogy in front of everyone who reads the news magazines.
