Keeping up with the latest genealogy news

Keeping up with the latest news on various genealogy sites, is not only necessary, it is important to your research. I get about 10 genealogy newsletters, and also a few RSS feeds on my homepage. The best news will be any that will help you in the area you are researching, plus finding out which sites are offering temporary free searches. I have found lots of information at some of these types of sites, whether I wasn't a member, a non-paying member, or have limited access.

The latest information from www.genealogyintime.com included some free access to both U.S. sites, but also to other countries.
