Internet Genealogy Magazine - August/September 2009 Issue

The latest issue of the Internet Genealogy magazine came in my email today - and I spent an enjoyable hour reading the articles. Then I saved it to my hard drive as a PDF - now I have issues dating back to September 2007. And no paper, other than the selected articles that I've printed out and filed in my resources folders.

-------------------------------------

This was an information packed edition for me. One of my colleagues can use the North Carolina article for his research. The Deidre Dagner article is about The Next Generation of Genealogy software (TNG). George Morgan's article about online historical maps is useful. I've been wanting to get back to the Norwegian research and that article is great! The Courthouse article is about the Essex County MA 17th century records with a lot of my ancestors included in them.
