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.
