A little newsletter for genealogists in Northwest Florida or other areas.

If the links do not open, please search on Google the items below.  I will check this as soon as I post this and try to do some editing so that will not happen often.
 
The goal of this twice monthly communication is to bring to your attention the most important updates that you need to know­, with links to further information, and to reduce the amount of updates via one-off emails.
