Internet Genealogy: Dec/Jan issue

Browsing this issue, with articles by a constellation of familiar names, my first thought was how much easier the magazine has become on the eyes with the increased white space.

As it's a topic I write and speak on I turned immediately to an article by George Morgan, "Digitized Newspapers Online". I'd no need to worry he was stealing any of my thunder as the article covers strictly US papers whereas I speak on Canadian and British periodicals.

Lisa Louise Cooke has an easy to read article on using the iPad for genealogy with suggestions for useful apps and a quick list of iPad tricks.

Turning to Tony Bandy's "Genealogy Software Update", I was surprised by the choice. They don't seem to be in order of merit, there's no significance to describing The Master Genealogist first, and no mention of Legacy!

Two articles by Lisa Alzo cover different ways of preserving and sharing audio, both new to me, savingmemoriesforever.com and voicequilt.com.

Aside from Dave Obee's regular back page column the specific Canadian content is by Christine Woodcock who writes on the Selkirk Settlers - a very much overlooked 200th anniversary this year.

Here's the table of contents.
