An interesting newcomer to genealogy magazines is Internet Genealogy published by Moorshead Magazines. I have to admit that I was skeptical when I heard of the plans to publish an entire magazine devoted to Internet genealogy. It's a topic that is already well-represented in other mainstream genealogy magazines, including another magazine from the same publisher, Family Chronicle. I was also afraid it might be a bit too basic, or consist of too many links and not enough content, to be worth yet another subscription (I subscribe to pretty much every genealogy magazine too). The first issue, available on newstands now, proved me wrong, however.
It's hard not to like a magazine that mentions my site (About Genealogy) as #2 among the "Top Places to Begin Your Research" and also highlights my free family tree charts under "Genealogy Freebies." Vanity aside, however, there are plenty of things to like about this magazine. The layout is eye-catching and easy to read. The content covers everything from basic research techniques to specialized databases and unusual sources. It also showcases a nice assortment of authors, including well-known names like Emily Croom and Maureen Taylor, plus some new faces.
The first issue of Internet Genealogy magazine is dated May 2006 and is available on newstands now, or by subscription. The subscription rate is $28 US or $32 CDN for one year (six issues), but the publisher is offering a special introductory rate of $20 US or $23 CDN for a limited time. If you want a sneak peek, check out the special 24-page preview issue of Internet Genealogy in PDF format. If you've already got your hands on a copy, then post a comment and tell us what you think (good or bad)!
