New-look website for Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine

26th June, 2020 Latest News, Who Do You Think You Are? Family History Research , Genealogy Magazines

NEWS

The Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine have announced that they have upgraded their website to offer fantastic family history news and features on a more up-to-date and accessible platform.

 

Here is what Rosemary Collins from their website writes:

The new-look website is available at the same URL, whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com.

It now loads faster and is easier to access on mobile devices.

 

WDYTYA? Magazine editor Sarah Williams said: “We’re delighted to be moving to a new platform that will enable us to add even more content to help family historians across the globe.

“As well as our usual news stories and tutorials we will be adding some of our popular Q&As and inspirational real life stories.

“It will also remain the premier destination for anyone interested in the TV series.”

From today, our readers will also see our new-look newsletter, delivering the latest news and features from our website to your inbox every Friday morning.

Unfortunately, as part of the transition we had to shut down our popular online family history forum.

However, a group of readers set up a new forum: Who When Were Genealogy.

 

Founder member Hilary Groves (active on the WDYTYA? forum as phsvm) said: “We hope that our new forum will be as popular, friendly and helpful to all those who are looking for helping breaking down the inevitable brick walls or just help finding an elusive record as the WDYTYA? Forum has been over the years.”

WDYTYA? Magazine readers are also welcome to join our Facebook group.

 

PDFs of the old forum are available on Google Drive.

Latest 'Discover Your History' Magazine now available

04th December, 2013 Genealogy Magazines, Latest News, Uncategorized Discover Your History , Family History Magazine , Genealogy Magazines
Since the magazine name change earlier this year from 'Your Family History' to 'Discover Your History', we've now read a few issues from the new editorial team. There was a note of surprise in the genealogy world when the magazine changed its format and style but the new version is both a good read and educational in its choice of topics. With an emphasis on social history, the magazine appears to complement the other magazines on the market and offer something slightly different. With in-depth articles on how life used to be, it's a good entertaining read. If you haven't seen it yet, there's more information on their website. If you have seen a recent issue, we'd love to know your thoughts!

Latest news from Your Family History magazine is that the current August issue will be the last one under the title of 'Your Family History' and with its current editorial staff. The magazine from September will be known as 'Discover Your History', the name the magazine currently uses for its overseas edition. The magazine has always been a high quality production and we are sure this will continue with the magazine re-brand and the new editors at the helm. We await the September issue with anticipation!
