I always find useful information in this magazine about genealogy websites, software and databases. There are always new websites listed in this magazine that I have not looked at, and I learn a great deal about genealogy topics that I'm not intimately familiar with. In this issue, the sailing vessels, the French-Canadian websites, and the England/Wales criminal registers were of special interest. I also enjoyed Michael Hait's article on Twitter - learned some new things there! I note that there is an article about Canadian genealogy blogs too!
