New Magazine Articles by George G. Morgan

George has two articles published in magazines this month.

In theAugust/September 2019 issue of Internet Genealogy magazine, published by Moorshead Magazines, Ltd., George has an article titled "Five Go-To Sites You Should Consider." As he says that these "continue to provide first-rate content content to inform and improve our research in many ways." His list includes:

• Cyndi's List
• FamilySearch Research Wiki
• David Rumsey Map Collection
• The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Database
• Google Books

You're sure to want to read the article to learn what these great sites can do for your research and why he thinks they are his top "go-to" reference sites and how to get the most from them.

In the September Issue of Family Tree Magazine, George writes in his regular column titled "Document Detective" about the 1939 Register for England & Wales. The record collection provides fantastic information from the beginning of World War II about the residents. Following the 1921 census there, which will not be made available to the public until 2021, there is no surviving 1931 census records and there was no census taken in 1941 because of World War II. The 1939 Register is therefore a very important research aid for your ancestors and families living at the time. You'll learn all about the content and how it was used in this article.

George is also a regular columnist for the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly and writes for other print and online publications. 

F+W Media, Inc., Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

F+W Media, Inc., publishers of many magazines including Family Tree Magazine and many genealogy books, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and reorganization on Sunday, 10 March 2019. It is unclear as to the impact on its publishing activities, Family Tree University, and other activities in the genealogy arena. The army of authors of books and magazine articles are, of course, concerned about payments and royalties. This include both of The Genealogy Guys.

The article at https://www.csbankruptcyblog.com/2019/03/articles/recent-developments/new-delaware-chapter-11-filing-fw-media-inc/# and at numerous news outlets online summarize the situation at present. We will report more as information becomes available.
