> I'm extremely pleased to report that the following e-mail was sent by Mike
> Spathaky to all GENfair customers earlier this evening:
>
> "GENfair and FFHS Publications Ltd are pleased to announce that they have
> agreed terms for the purchase of GENfair by FFHS Publications Ltd.
>
> (FFHS Publications Ltd is the publications company of the Federation of
> Family History Societies.)
>
> The GENfair web site will be incorporated into the FFHS Bookshop web site
www.familyhistorybooks.co.uk and the name GENfair will be incorporated into
the name of the combined web site. The address www.genfair.com will
re-direct seamlessly to the FFHS Bookshop site.
>
> Mike Spathaky of GENfair will assist FFHS Publications Ltd in the
> integration of the web sites and associated software. As a transitional
> arrangement the GENfair web site may re-open separately at first. Orders
> will be dealt with by the staff of FFHS Publications Ltd.
>
> It is possible that some suppliers' product data files will need updating.
> For the present please send any updates to Mike Spathaky as soon as
> possible at .
>
> Participation in the new arrangements will be subject to the agreement of
> each Supplier to a new contract with FFHS Publications. Terms will be
> substantially the same as their existing GENfair contracts. Contract terms
> will be sent to suppliers in the near future.
>
> Following the recent death of Diana Spathaky, the proprietor of GENfair,
> this is probably the best possible outcome. It holds the best possibility
> of the long-term continuation of the GENfair concept. It is hoped that it
> will be welcomed by all GENfair suppliers and that it will result fairly
> soon in a return to the level of sales which they enjoyed prior to the
> closure of the GENfair web site.
>
> We urge all GENfair suppliers to participate in the new arrangements.
