Family Tree Magazine

Our copy of the May/June issue arrived last week and I thought I'd mention some of the articles. One describes the workspaces of six professional genealogists and gives ideas for organizing them. Another article discusses strategies for analyzing and solving your brick walls. Websites for European research might be of interest to many of us; this issue lists 57 of them.

In several past issues there has been a "workbook" for various search methods; birth records are taught this month. Another article lists sources for identifying your ancestor's German village. If you suspect an ancestor ended in the poorhouse or an orphanage, another article suggests places to look for those records. Family Tree Magazine usually presents a tutorial on an area of research; you can learn how to search the 1901 and 1911 Irish censuses online.

Something for everyone! If you are not a subscriber, you can find the magazine in a large bookstore. Or, try your public library; many subscribe to genealogy magazines.
