The bad news is that in the past few months two well-known genealogy magazines have made the decision to cease publication. The folks at Everton’s Genealogical Helper sent out their last edition in January/February 2009. The March/April 2010 edition of Ancestry magazine will be its last.
The good news is that Ancestry back issues are being added to Google Books. At present, the available issues date from 2004 through early 2009. Earlier issues will be added soon. All the issues will be fully searchable and have all their original images.
Go to Google Books and then search for “Ancestry magazine”.
