Family Roots Publishing - Home (Brief Review)

http://www.familyrootspublishing.com/

Do you want to receive even more e-mail?  Well, this site offers a free Genealogy Newsline newsletter that you can opt to receive in your e-mail box.  There are scads and scads of genealogy newsletters.  Some of them are syndicated and can be read in your news reader.  And some are available to be read online, as well as in your e-mail "box".

The one that I recently received was the eighteenth edition of the Newsline.  To give you and idea of the content, I'm listing a brief list of its features:

•     Salt Lake Christmas Tour (numerous trips to The Family History Library; attendees will recieve assisted research at the library from experienced professional genealogists ALL WEEK LONG.  There are ten classes and workshops scheduled for the week, all presented by Thomas MacEntee.  Be sure to take in the Christmas lights and tour of Temple Square and if possible, attend a free rehearsal of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  Editors, Lee Everton and Leland K. Meitzler are the hosts and organizers for the 27th Annual Christmas Tour.

• • One of the features of the Newsline (really handy for those of us without a brain--I for one need numerous reminders), is a list of the recent addition of records just posted to FamilySearch.org.  This feature lets us know that new USA Vital Records Data is now available, including digital imagesand indexes. 
  • A plug for Aero-Info.net (a way to publish your local genealogical or other types of events).  Can I call it a "plug" if it's free to do that? 
  • New book review.  After all, the website is a publishing company for genealogy books. 
  • Articles.  This time, one titled, "Oregon Historic Newspapers".
  • Special Sales of published materials and books.  This company also publishes state guides, etc, but you may not want to forget to check for free guides from other sources before you pay big bucks.  Just Google "free genealogy guides for U.S. States" or something like that.
    
  • Another plug for Aero-Info.net: a place to express your personal opinions as many times as you wish about anything, I guess!  And don't forget you can share news of your town and society at this venue.
  • News from the Genealogy World.  To get the latest news and commentary, visit GenealogyBlog.com.
