The newsletter is a bit “briefer” than most weeks, but mostly because I spent much of my time keeping an eye on finding discounts on genealogy products featured in the list below (other than DNA & the “biggies”). And as usual, I worked on fixing a small glitch on the website that ended up being quite the rabbit hole, requiring me to pretty much adjust every one of the thousands of events on the calendar (with no option to “search & replace”). At least I’m never bored 🙂
🔵 BLACK FRIDAY/CYBER MONDAY SPECIALS
You have probably already been bombarded with deals from all of the big DNA companies and the major genealogy website, but I thought I’d share a few other good “Black Friday” deals that I’ve come across online that are genealogy-related. As always, these are not paid ads, nor are they affiliate links of any kind. Just good deals on genealogy products. 🙂 I posted most of this list on Facebook this past week, but there have been a couple of additions since. My apologies to anyone who’s discounts aren’t included (always feel free to email me and let me know!)
