April
2, 2007 – New York Times – Front Page
The side bar link on the web version had a
very nice article (including photos) about how Y-DNA can help a traditional
genealogist:
Genealogy Sleuthing,
DNA-Style
I (GKB) thought it was exciting to have my
photo on the front page of the printed
copy (it was not in the web version) of the New York Times but the
“stalker” headline was distressing to all of us who were interviewed. Amy
Harmon told us it would be a light piece with a “CSI” theme; later she
explained that the editor comes up with the headlines. (Harmon
received a Pulitzer in 2008 for her DNA reporting.)

Harmon’s article
appeared in various other papers, some with edited versions, and some with
nicer headlines, e.g.
