The magazine claims to be the largest circulation genealogical publication in the United States. The publishers launched a Web site in the early years of the Internet, but that site was always a supplement to the printed magazine. Now Everton's is making the entire magazine available online to subscribers. Here is this week's announcement: Everton's Genealogical Helper Is Now Available Online Family History: Two Worlds...One Magazine, a First in Genealogy! Logan, Utah - A. Lee Everton, publisher of Everton's Genealogical Helper announces the first real-world interactive family history magazine. The popular magazine, Everton's Genealogical Helper, is now in print and online (http://www.everton.com/genealogy/helper/) with added features. A person can use the print magazine in the traditional way; by sitting at a desk, in a chair, or thumb through the pages in bed and making notations. However, if a person is at a location without their copy of the magazine and has access to the internet, they can easily enter their account number to access the complete magazine online. "A researcher has their 'personal copy' with them anywhere in the world! Hence, Two Worlds...One Magazine", explains Mr. Everton. Added features on the internet include: searching, access to a large article archive, categorized links published in Everton's Genealogical Helper, and an archive of past issues. By using this magazine, a person will have the opportunity to accomplish two things: First, learn how to succeed in genealogy research. And second, effectively prepare and use the internet for their family history research. Why is this important? There are approximately 400,000 websites that offer genealogy in some form. This is very overwhelming to someone beginning his or her online research. Every issue of Everton's Genealogical Helper has categorized weblinks for easy navigation around the vast Internet. This is a time saver and a "mind" saver. People interested in doing their family tree will also have "how-to" and "where-to" articles from professional researchers, tips for the computer, foreign countries, all of which can help them in other research methods.
