Which would be the best to go for? There's several threads on here discussing magazines, but I know there's new magazines out, and I'm not sure which one to ask Santa for. Any preferences?

Thanks, Sue

Are you thinking something genealogical or family history type magazine here?

Or something a little more ... erm ... ?

LOL

Oh sorry, I should have said. Family History type of magazine. There's some sort of offer on 'Who Do You Think You Are' but I wondered if other mags are actually better value and/or more useful.

It is really like asking 'How long is a Piece of String?" There is no one answer.

I have subscribed to Your Family Tree since it started and have all 84 copies bar one. There is a main themed article each month so it could be Censuses, BMD, Partish Registers etc.

Then you get regulars, tips, letters and current comment from a band of genealogical journalists, plus news You also get a CD disc

Why not buy a few different ones over the next few months and see what you think.

Your nearest main library may have current copies that you can read, to get a feel for which one might suit your needs.

Thank you for your replies. I will try both the library and the local newsagent. Not sure why I didn't think of that really!
