 Have You Tried the Google Search Methods from
 the Special Lesson in the October Issue Yet?
 ------------------------------------------------
In the last issue of Treasure Maps Genealogy Newsletter the feature
lesson/article was about "How to Google Your Ancestors with COMMON
Surnames."

This shows an important Google search method that I've gotten a lot
of positive feedback about and I hope you get a chance to try it
for yourself.

Treasure Maps reader, Mary, found even more information than she
hoped for. She wrote:

"I thought this was interesting. I did use the Google search and
found a whole history of my grand and great grand parents right on
down to my children written out online. Yikes! It is scary! I
thought it might interest you. Love, Mary"

So, what is online about your ancestors and family? If you haven't
already, please take a look at the lesson in the October issue and
give it a try. I'd love to hear your success stories.

 So, what's the "Very Important Reason" that
 the 5 Minute Genealogy course is on sale?
 ---------------------------------------------
Benicio, the short version is because: There is a big bill
coming this month from the email service that we use to send out
Treasure Maps Genealogy Newsletter. It takes $$ to keep everything
going and this month's expenses are higher than usual. So you can
get an extremely helpful genealogy course for a super-low price,
and we can keep Treasure Maps going.

I say "we" because my wife, Ellen, is an unsung hero behind the
Treasure Map's newsletter, Web site, and all my genealogy projects.
She has always been supportive, is my main proof-reader, and also
puts up with me. ;-)

Dr. Stephen Covey ("The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" guy)
said: "No monetization [money], no mission."

The Treasure Maps Genealogy site/newsletter has been helping online
genealogy researchers for 14 years now, and we hope for many more
years to come. It's always seems like we are going on a "wing and a
prayer" - but it has always been more about our mission to help
others, not just about money.

Anyway, there is the reason. So this month is a great time for you
to take advantage of this special sale...it will help keep our
mission alive, help keep Treasure Maps pulling forward, and YOU
will get some wonderful training.

Also, you could give it as a Christmas gift to a genealogy friend.

Thank you, and I'll see you soon in the Special 14th Anniversary
Issue of Treasure Maps Genealogy Newsletter later this month. This
issue will have a very unique, special lesson (about finding more
time to work on your genealogy) that I think you will really enjoy
and benefit from.

    As always, my very best to you and yours...


                              ;-) Robert
