With this issue, specifically, we are attempting to display some of the sources and techniques that have helped us learn about our past, and also to tell of some specific examples where the above mentioned techniques have brought us new ideas about our heritage.We are so lucky to have the authors that we have. In addition to our long list of those who have already contributed, we have been introduced to the online Ancient History Encyclopedia and two of their writers, James Wiener and Joshua Mark, will join the ranks of Celtic Guide authors. We even have professional genealogist, Christine Woodcock, joining us with an unbelievably helpful guide to searching ancestors.Cass and Deborah Wright's Henceforth Tales, this issue, involves the family of the great Sir Walter Scott, plus Sharron Gunn returns with a very interesting analysis of the Annals of Ulster. Scott Woodburn, Ron Henderson and Albert Thomson are back, too! Another great article has been provided by Debbie Kennett from Family Tree DNA. With Bennett Greenspan as its leader, this organization has been in the forefront in genetic analysis, comparing thousands of samples from participants from all over the world. Their charts and analysis of DNA has helped many people find their roots, in some cases in very dramatic ways.
