In my
Thunderbird Mailbox, I get genealogy stuff of all kinds.
Here are some recommendations of that stuff. You can usually organize your e-mail folders or prioritize your messages so that when you have a few minutes, dip into your genealogy e-mail box and read a short article or two. For example:
- Did you know that 3-D family trees are now available?! Progeny Genealogy is a company that is well known in the genealogy community and they have e-mailed this promotion to little ole' me! "Get the Charting Companion today".
- MyHeritage.com has e-mailed me this morning to tell me I have 23 "Smart" Matches.
- NEHGS has sent along their "Weekly Genealogist", another free newsletter; this New England Historic Genealogical Society has helpful articles (We love Tips and Tricks!); they also spotlight various cemeteries, and more. Go to their website to learn more: AmericanAncestors.org.
- I get a regular e-mail "WikiTree Family News", because I've posted family tree information at WikiTree.com; the "news" is about additions and changes to my family tree info. Following that list, is a list of "family" birthdays. I like to use this as a way to celebrate my kinfolks and check out the accuracy of my database, there.
- Do you get mail from a RootsWeb Message Board or Surname List? If you've subscribed to one at RootosWeb (still a free service), then you will want to keep up with a particular surname or place! This is a great vehicle to post queries, too!
My time has elapsed and I plan to continue making suggestions in a connected post, later. When someone bemoans the fact that they rarely get mail, anymore, I just smile a little inside, knowing that always have some excellent examples of interesting e-mail, waiting for me on my T-Bird.
