"The Jewish Week" published two interesting articles today related to the IAJGS
conference
in New York. The conference is only five weeks away!

"Connecting The Ancestral Dots"
(http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/newscontent.php3?artid=12688)
gives an overview of the lectures, computer labs, and tours that will be
offered.

In "Father of 'Mother' DNA Study"
(http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/newscontent.php3?artid=12689),
Dr. Doron Behar, the geneticist who discovered that forty percent of Ashkenazi
Jews can
trace their ancestry to just four women, is interviewed. At the conference, Dr.
Behar will
talk about the study and his future research.

Full information about the conference is at http://www.jgsny2006.org, including
online
registration.
