    3. These people had a booth at a genealogy lecture I attended yesterday. The web site advertises over 500 fun and useful items for genealogists. To be sure, a ton of it is pure kitch but there were several useful items. The one that I think is great is the Carson Lumidome 3X acrylic magnifier at $ 8.95. For those of us with fading eyesight and/or difficult documents to read, this one is a jewel...a "half globe" that rests directly on the paper and the light admitting sides illuminate the object to be viewed/read. They're advertised for viewing coins, stamps, etc. but they work just as well on print and difficult text from genealogical documents. I only bought one for myself and on the way home thought of what a great Christmas stocking stuffer they would make for kids too..so I went on line and bought a couple more. (I didn't look forever but I did check a few sites and I think the 8.95 is about as good as one will do). Maynard
