>Ancestry.com's Surf and Turf Special!
>
>This weekend, enjoy almost 20% off on Ancestry.com's Surf and Turf
>Special! That's right, we're bringing you two popular Ancestry book
>titles: They Came in Ships: A Guide to Finding Your Immigrant Ancestor's
>Arrival Record, and Land and Property Research in the United States. So
>get ready to dive right in and use these tools in your genealogy
>research!
>
>Land and Property Research in the United States by Wade Hone
>Land records are some of the oldest and best preserved written records
>in the United States, and they apply to more people in America than any
>other written record. Unfortunately, they can also be difficult to
>understand and use. This book-the most comprehensive and useful review
>of land and property research to date-shows you: the nature of land and
>property records in the United States; how, when, and why they were
>created; and, most importantly, how best to access them. Of course, all
>this information would be of little use without an understanding of how
>to use it in genealogical research. So, the significance of genealogical
>information is tied into each record group and chapter.
>
>They Came in Ships: A Guide to Finding Your Immigrant Ancestor's Arrival
>Record
>The author, John Colletta, explains the records, demonstrating in sample
>research scenarios how to use the available indexes and alternative
>resources to find the ship passenger list that lists your ancestor's
>name. An entirely new chapter focuses on the challenge of searching for
>a ship when your ancestor arrived in a year that is not included in any
>National Archives index. The new book provides more valuable clues and
>more useful tips than ever before.
>
>Bought individually, these two titles would cost you $58.90, but as
>Ancestry.com's Surf and Turf Special, you can receive both for just
>$48.95!
>

>featured every weekday as the Product of the Day!
>===============================================
>The Family Tree
>
>I think that I shall never see, the finish of a family tree,
>as it forever seems to grow from roots that started long ago.
>
>Way back in ancient history time,
>in foreign land and distant clime.
>
>>From them grew trunk and branching limbs,
>that dated back to time so dim.
>
>One seldom knows exactly when,
>the parents met and married then;
>
>Nor when the twigs began to grow,
>with odd-named children, row on row.
>
>Though verse like this is made by me,
>the end's insight, as you can see.
>
>"Tis not the same with family trees,
> that grow and grow through centuries.
