If you have some extra time for genealogy here are somethings to note going on in the genealogy world. Some items are new and some have been extended due to many states extending variations of stay at home orders. If we hear of some more free access or sales we will add another post.

National Genealogical Society
Until July 31, 2020, The National Genealogical Society (NGS) is giving non-members access to five years of its NGS Monthly Archives.
According to the NGS's announcement, "Edited and authored by Aaron Goodwin, an award-winning genealogist, NGS Monthly’s articles help researchers of all levels. The articles offer family historians invaluable insights on methodology and digestible recommendations on genealogical research by considering the techniques of skilled researchers and scholars, and how they solved difficult research problems. Topics often examine valuable lessons in case studies published in the scholarly NGS Quarterly to help readers understand how to apply new concepts to their own work."
Access the NGS website > Learning Center > NGS Monthly & Archive then click on the NGS Monthly Archives link.
