I really love this magazine because, first of all, I love Genealogy! And this magazine is a great source of information whether you are just starting out on your family search or if you've been hitting the archives for years.
And it is WEB oriented which is just what I'm looking for as I do a lot of research online. Family Tree Magazine always has new or important search tips. I learned to check characteristics of old photos for clues in narrowing a search for birth years when you don't have an exact date. Then I looked in the census for years around that time period to find the person I was looking for.

In all, I enjoy Family Tree Magazine as it is chock-full of interesting stories, tidbits and helpful tips for your genealogy research - some of which are very creative and will help you further along in your genealogical quest.

My only gripe (and it's one that keeps me from regularly patronizing the magazine) is that the vast majority of their articles (I'd say a good 98%) focus on people whose ancestors were from the British Isles and Germany. While I realize the sheer number of those people compose the majority of the American population (for now), it leaves me, as a reader, feeling left out in the cold because I don't share that ancestry.

Useful tips can be carried over to whatever country your ancestors emigrated from but there are an increasing amount of people researching (or who would like to research) Southern and Eastern European ancestry so why not include us (no matter how scant the records may be?).

In all, though, Family Tree Magazine is an enjoyable and informative read and contains articles worth saving in every issue. - Donna Di Giacomo

I love this magazine and have had a subscription for three years now. I always find some tidbit in each magazine that helps me with a brick wall that I have hit while researching my ancestors. It is, also, a very easy and quick read. I will not let this subscription expire!

This is one of the best Genealogy magazines. It has been an immense help for new leads to information and how too's. A very good resource for all new and seasoned genealogists or family historians.

I initially subscribed to this magazine as a Christmas 2008 gift for my husband. He was starting to get into genealogy at the time. He loves the magazine (and he does not like magazines!) and asked me to renew it, so I did! We are both very satisfied.

I have been wanting to trace my roots. I have been receiving this magazine for a few years now and find it has good hints and stories of how to find out your families history.

I'm sure it is a great magazine because I've had the pleasure of reading it in the past. However, it has been a month since I subscribed via Amazon and I have not received my first issue or any acknowledgement from the publisher that they even have my order.

I've subscribed to this magazine for several years and I read it cover to cover. They offer a wide variety of topics for both beginner & experienced genealogist. Good online support as well.

Always a good read, I learn something new at month.....

I had bought this magazine on the news stand in the past and was pleased to find that I could subscribe through Amazon. One of my favorite magazines!
