Topic – The Romeros of Southern New Mexico
This is a story of how Santiago Romero, who was born in 1751, Isleta, New Mexico, was really Santiago Duran y Chavez. His blood line slowly revealed itself through Family Tree DNA testing and the work of the New Mexico Genealogy Society’s DNA Project.

Presenter: Cathy Romero has been doing family research since 1998. She is a retired graphic designer who worked at Kaiser Permanente Regional Communications for 33 years. She graduated from Cal State Los Angeles with a Bachelor’s in Design.

The DNA Interest Group was formed in 2005 and held its first meeting in conjunction with the International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) in July 2005.

The group focus is to provide education to assist genealogists to understand the DNA test processes and interpret their test results.

Since 2005 there have been many changes in the types of DNA test services, the number of DNA test companies for genealogical purposes and evolving databases and tools for analytical purposes. Project administrators coordinate across the various facets of genetic genealogy to help lead the DNA Interest Group members into the future.
