Here in the UK there are numerous genealogical magazines, perhaps too many, even my local garden centre stocks two family history magazines by the till,perhaps an interested staff member? That said, after more than 20 years have recently stopped routinely buying genealogical magazines as I find that most of the news items has already been published somewhere on the net - a mailing list or published on someone's blog, even some of the articles. Out of interest I also collected stamps as a child and still have that collection, perhaps it is that trait of always seeking something, a missing stamp, an ancestor....Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-35891537899270075772011-01-06T10:59:43.967-07:002011-01-06T10:59:43.967-07:00It's very surprising that a country as big as ...It's very surprising that a country as big as America is so lacking in genealogy magazines. We have four in the UK which are on sale in all the major newsagents and are usually on display in public libraries too. I wonder if the UK journals will eventually go the same way as the ones in the US.Debbie Kennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573470282571579765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-64319495019946037432011-01-05T18:54:33.129-07:002011-01-05T18:54:33.129-07:00I enjoyed this article for two reasons.

First the genealogical / blogging aspect and finding another stamp collector (my collection is at least 55 yrs. old, and I don't know what to do with it...can you address that later in a post? Only kidding.)<br />Bloggers can get the word out in a flash. In retrospect the magazines, like Family Tree Magazine take too long to get something published. Why does it take almost 1/2 years to post the winners of the recent contest? That is insane, by then I've lost interest, and some bloggers may not even be blogging. Sorry James, I kind of ran with it.Barbara Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-4958993442713626512011-01-05T18:24:10.301-07:002011-01-05T18:24:10.301-07:00I have to agree with you that bloggers are the pri...I have to agree with you that bloggers are the primary source of information for genealogists. Ironically, though we can wait for records patiently in the mail we are very impatient when it comes to hearing our genealogical news. Luckily there are some great folks filling that role. It's a bit sad about the decline of printed magazines. I wonder what blogs will evolve into?Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738104230962644360noreply@blogger.com
