Family Tree Magazine has launched their new web site - see www.familytreemagazine.com. My first impression is that they have added a LOT of content on this web site, mostly in the form of articles and genealogy forms.
The major headings on the web page are:
* How To - Records, Tips & Techniques, Online Genealogy, Photos & Heirlooms, Save & Share History, Libraries & Archives, and DNA
* Heritage - African-American, English, French, German, Hispanic, Irish, Italian, Polish, Scandinavian, Scottish and All groups.
* Get Started -- Basic Steps, Genealogy Glossary, Surnames and Interviewing
* Research Toolkit - Free Forms, Cheat Sheets, 101 Best Web Sites, Soundex Generator, Software Guide, Article Index, State Research Guides.
* Blogs - Genealogy Insider, Photo Detective, Now What?
* Community -- Forum, Contribute, Queries
* Audio/Video - Featured Videos, Podcasts
* Shop - Back Issues, CDs, Digital downloads, State Research Guides, FTM Merchandise, Books.
I found many excellent articles, plus some PDFs in the Cheat Sheet section of Research Toolkit - Records Checklist, Timeline of US Immigration Laws, War Service Reference Guide and a Vital Records Chart. I also appreciated the article by Rick Crume on the 50 Genealogy Databases.
At this time, the Software Guide reviews are not available, even though a summary of each program is available here.
This is a great resource for all researchers - it's very easy to use and has a lot of information organized logically and well. Did I mention that most of these resources are FREE? Of course, the Family Tree Magazine itself isn't free, and the State Research Guides are not free.
Welcome to my genealogy blog. Genea-Musings features genealogy research tips and techniques, genealogy news items and commentary, genealogy humor, San Diego genealogy society news, family history research and some family history stories from the keyboard of Randy Seaver (of Chula Vista CA), who thinks that Genealogy Research Is really FUN!
