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.

https://www.my-history.co.uk/acatalo...saAvFMEALw_wcB
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

Living the Poor Life
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.Caroline
