The NGS magazine for Jan.-Mar. 2018 explores the Great Lakes region (where the National Genealogical Society's conference was just held), in particular, resources for Dutch genealogy because of the many Dutch immigrants who settled that area. In addition, you will find great tips in articles on searching courthouse indexes, "wizardry for effective newspaper searches," note-taking software, and effective communication with DNA matches.
Family tree magazine for May/June 2018 features a photographic tour of Ellis Island, to walk you through the experience of the many immigrants who arrived in America at this port. A helpful guide walks you through the process of passing on heirlooms to the next generation, or disposing of them appropriately. Arkansas and Michigan are featured in state guides. "DNA direction" suggests how to use your results effectively. "Holes in history" suggests ways around major record losses caused by fires (1890 census, Ellis Island, etc.) Journalist Jennifer Mendelssohn is featured in an article about the relevance of genealogy to today's political rhetoric about immigration.
