Internet Genealogy Magazine

The latest issue of Internet Genealogy, packed full of interesting articles, arrived in our mail this week. Many public libraries carry genealogy magazines, or you can find current issues in a large bookstore.

Tony Bandy has written a genealogy software update (including mobile apps) for 2014; anyone who is still trying to decide which option to choose will find it enlightening. He also writes a detailed article about Family Tree Maker for Mac 3.

For members working on writing family stories, the Storytoolz website is worth a look. The site has free access but requires registration. Resources include a story idea generator, title generator, word counts, a "cliché buster" and other editing tools to assist writers.

Other articles of interest include resources for researching the Dust Bowl Migration of the 1930s, the treasures you might find in the Washington State Digital Archives, online state land grant databases, and the St. Lawrence Steamboat Company records found on Ancestry.

By the way, there is no Legacy webinar scheduled for this week.
