Review: "Tracing Your Eastern European Ancestors" Special Magazine

Moorshead Publishing (Internet Genealogy, Family Chronicle and History Magazine) has gifted me with a digital copy of one of their excellent special magazines - "Tracing Your Eastern European Ancestors:" 

The publicity for this magazine says:

"Family Chronicle and Internet Genealogy are pleased to announce our latest special issue in our continuing Tracing Your Ancestors series. If you are researching your ancestors in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Russian and Ukraine, our expert authors have provided up-to-date and information on resources that will assist you in your research."

Each of these articles discusses the topic in general and specific terms, and often provide lists of online or repository records with very useful information.  The emphasis of this special magazine is online websites and databases.

This special magazine should be very useful for genealogists and family historians just starting their Eastern European research, and for experienced researchers who have been away from the topic for several years.  

The "Tracing Your Eastern European Ancestors" special magazine can be ordered for $9.95 (US) plus $4.50 shipping (PDF download is $8.50) at 84-pages.  The magazine, along with other books and magazines, can be ordered at their Book Store (http://internet-genealogy.com/Books.htm).
