FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Announcing a new Genealogy Magazine

Southern Footprints Magazine is a new magazine dedicated to SOUTHERN genealogy and history. Currently, there is no other magazine that publishes solely for the southern states, and let's face it - southern genealogy is unique!

Southern Footprints features articles on Southern Studies (how-to articles), Dixieland Resources (with emphasis on specifically southern resources), and Southern Library Leaflets (detailed focus on a library and its holdings below the Mason-Dixon line).

Departments within the magazine are: Southwardly Stories (do you have a 'colorful' ancestor? Share your story here), Southern Stumpers (have a problem you can't solve? Share your problem with the membership for group brainstorming!), Southern Online, and certainly not last - Southern Queries!

As a subscriber, you will receive 4 issues of Southern Footprints Magazine per year. You may place as many expanded queries, free of charge during your subscription, as you wish. You will also be eligible to participate in all quarterly contests or drawings.

Upon receipt of your subscription, you will be sent a welcoming letter and a subscription card showing when your subscription ends. No need to 'decode' your mailing label! Also enclosed will be query forms (three, but feel free to copy them!) for ease in submitting queries - the lifeline for southern research. No need to use a magnifying glass either - the queries will be printed large enough to read and with all the information provided by the writer (copyright belongs to the writer).

Southern Footprints covers the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

With the demise of Southern Queries, the retirement of Family Puzzlers, and the cancellation of query publications by Heritage Quest, it is increasingly difficult for southern researchers to connect. Many people are turning to the Internet. However, many researchers, with 30 years (or more) of research at their fingertips, will never be on the Internet.

Southern Footprints goal is to unite all southern researchers with a home for all of our queries and our special interests. Please consider joining us, and don't forget to visit our web site at www.southernfootprints.com
