          I won’t be able to be there. Hope you all have a good time and post all the important news for us here. If there are any discount codes going for the new version of Family Historian I would appreciate a spare code/voucher. Hopefully version 7 will be ready for sale by the time of the show.

              Definitely.

              It looks as though I had better get the badge machine out again, I only made a few for RootsTech. :D

                I hope so!! At RootsTech they were saying that if you bought version 6 then you got a discount for the V7 - which works out cheaper than paying the full price for 7. In fact, I've just had a look and MyHistory is already selling it:

                  https://www.my-history.co.uk/acatalo...saAvFMEALw_wcB
                  I've seen that offer Caroline at £36.85 and also one at S&N Genealogy. https://genealogysupplies.com/produc...ian-V6-Deluxe/ at £39.95 which includes freebies. Not sure about the freebies though as the free 3 months Genealogist is Gold level which doesn't include the non-conformist data and some exclusive parish register data that I would like to look through. I have no idea what is in the regional research guidance booklet - probably nothing that could not be found out from FTF wiki and asking our members.
                  Do you think there will be a better offer price at Family Tree Live? Family Historian website does not sell the item and directs you to one of four sellers. My-History, TWR Computing (which is the same company as My-History!), S&N Genealogy and amazon.co.uk The prices are;
                  My-History £36.85 with free upgrade
                  TWR Computing £39.50 no free upgrade mentioned
                  amazon.co.uk £36.85 no free upgrade mentioned. Interestingly they also have on offer a copy direct from My-History at £39.62 inc. delivery LOL
                  S&N Genealogy £39.50 with free upgrade and exclusive freebies - "Regional Research Guidebook & Online Subscription to TheGenealogist worth over £34" (3 months Gold)
                  S&N also claim their price is a £10/20% saving on the full price. I eventually found a tiny wee image of the full price superimposed on an image of the boxed product on another link to their site. It said £49.95. HOWEVER!! If you clear your cache and go straight to S&N from a google search their home page has a scrolling offers/highlights box top left. I was able to capture the offer image which says the price of FH is £36.85 but if you click on the that link you end up at the £39.95 incl. freebies price. There is no option to purchase without the freebies. Cheeky devils :D

                              These are the ones I watched - the first two were good reminders of some sites I used to know about and had forgotten. The welfare ones took me into areas to look at more closely.

                                    Very interesting. I've sent for a couple of the books mentioned.

                                    An introduction to surname research and one-name studies
                                    I recently joined GOONS (I'm already a member of the Surname Society) so that was interesting to listen to.

                                    Now to see what else I might have missed over yesterday and today.

                                        These are only available for a few more days. Lots of free handouts as well, it’s worth looking at for the handouts alone.

                                          This morning's programme for me - they're available until 24th April:

                                          Learn how to integrate your DNA with your online family tree - well worth watching.
                                          Daniel Horowitz, the genealogy expert at MyHeritage, explains DNA basics, plus how to use the DNA tools on the website to transform your research into your genes.

                                          Voyages of the past
                                          Maritime historian Dr Simon Wills talks about the seafaring journeys our ancestors made over the past few centuries, exploring life at sea, what it was like in First Class and steerage, the food, accommodation, with excerpts from contemporary diaries. This is an audio, rather than video, recording.
