I was considering buying one of these magazines, but I think you may be right about the internet.

I think what is available on the net (and free to large extent) is really enough in guiding one on 'how to' on family treeing. Good review anyway. by magdadh

I agree with your comments, but also I find that this magazine is geared to the more experienced researcher, not the beginner.
