The first issue of Internet Genealogy has just come off the press and is now being distributed. Internet Genealogy is a new magazine from the publishers of Family Chronicle and deals primarily with conducting genealogy research using the resources of the Internet.
Halvor Moorshead, publisher of Family Chronicle, says, "We are more than pleased by the reaction we have received to this new magazine. We included a 24-page preview issue in the center of Family Chronicle; although this was an expensive proposition, the response has been excellent. About 20 percent of Family Chronicle readers have already taken out subscriptions to Internet Genealogy, even before the first issue has appeared. We have also been contacted by lots of writers who are experts in some aspect of genealogy and the Internet and we included a number of articles by new authors in the first issue".
The first issue of Internet Genealogy has a variety of articles. Dan Lynch describes how to get the best out of Google; Rick Crume conducts a Case Study and shows how much can be learned about an 18th-century colonist's origins and life using the resources of the 'net; Successful Searching Strategies is an article where eight experts reveal their best tips for researching online; Donna Pointkouski describes 10 websites for Polish genealogy. There are also features on researching newspapers, ArchiveGrid, Linkpendium, Ancestry's new Canadian website, A2A (Access to Archives), Freebies to be found on the 'net and Google Book Search.
The 24-page preview edition of Internet Genealogy is still available free of charge and may be downloaded from the magazine's website, www.internet-genealogy.com.
Internet Genealogy is published six times a year with a subscription price of $28 (US). However, for a limited time, Internet Genealogy is available at an introductory rate of $20 US or $23 CDN.
