I just found out that Amazon.com is selling subscriptions to county genealogy society newsletters. The only problem is it appears they are selling them with out permission of the publisher and at about twice the cost of the publisher.
For instance a yearly membership in the Bryan County Heritage Association will cost you $15 a year and you get 4 quarterly newsletters. Amazon charges $28 to send in the subscription for you.

But it is a good way to find out if a newsletter exists. Go to www.amazon.com and select magazines and put genealogy or the name of the county you are interested in and you will get a list of publications available.
