What magazine do I recommend?

Personally, my favorite has to be the Who Do You Think You Are? magazine. You must admit that everyone has heard of the program.

10 thoughts on “Genealogy Magazine Subscriptions – What’s Out There!”

  1. I have been thinking about getting the Family Tree Magazine but I am not sure if it is the one for me. I have hit a couple of brick walls. One of them will take more research and that is where I need some guidance. I think the other brick wall will take dna testing. Which magazine would be the best for breaking down those brick walls?

  2. Thanks for the concise reviews on the different magazines. Genealogy is not something I have really ventured into but has always been somewhere down on my to-do list.
    I may have to try one of the magazines you recommend and get researching! I will keep this website in mind when looking for a jumping off point or some tips.
    It is amazing how much we can find out in this age of the internet that would have taken so much hard digging years ago.

    1. Any of these magazines will be of use to you. They will have guides for you on how to do genealogy research, as well as stories from researchers which can be interesting to read.

      When I was researching my family history I too was amazed at how much I could find out online

  3. great article, definetly learned a lot here. I like when it said This magazine is suitable for the beginner as well as the veteran genealogist.
    I have never experienced this before so the fact that you had me the user in mind, really made me feel more confident in learning more.

    great work.

  4. Owain, what an interesting site! I really like how meticulous you have laid out the information. Step by step makes it easy to follow and return to. I especially like the links to all the other articles in your site. Again, great organizing. I bet your genealogy book is incredible to read. What are you planning for your home page? I have bookmarked your site and plan on returning to it. Best wishes Linda

    1. Thank you for your comment Linda. I am glad that it is easy to follow.mas a researcher it is important to find what you are looking for. And that is what I want with my site.

      I want to put up a few more posts and then I will be working on my homepage. Basically I will introduce my site and show what is offered in the different sections. I will also allow comments so that people can let me know what they think of the site and make suggestions for whatever content they would like on the site.

      Thanks again,

      Owain

  5. The magazine “Who Do You Think You Are” looks like the perfect one for me. I have thought about getting into genealogy, but actually just don’t even know where to begin. So this magazine is the best way I think, for me to get my feet wet and get started. I think it is an important part of history to keep records of the family tree, so this will work great for me.

    1. Glad that I could inspire you. This magazine is the most expensive of the four, but that is beau see they offer the most issues per year. So you will get one a month, and not one every six weeks or so
