Amazon Black Friday Free Genealogy Ebooks: The 15 Habits of Highly Frugal Genealogists
UPDATED FOR 2023! Researching your family history can be fun, but like many hobbies, it can turn into an obsession, and an expensive one at that. There are many ways to save money while you pursue the “hunt” for your roots: some are just common sense while others are, frankly, quite ingenious. Also keep in mind that it doesn’t pay to be so focused on “frugal” that in the long run you either lose money or that genealogy is no longer “fun.”
Confession: the title of this book is misleading, and intentionally so. The fact is, you will find over 30 amazing ways to save money when purchasing genealogy-related products and services. You may already be using some of these tricks, but I guarantee that once you start using some of the more unusual money-saving tips, you will say to yourself, “Now, why didn’t I think of that!”

Amazon Black Friday Free Genealogy Ebooks: Family History Trippin’ – A Guide to Planning a Genealogy Research Trip
The concept of “travel” is deeply rooted in family history and genealogy research.
First, most of us have ancestors who travelled far from home to a new land in search of opportunity and a better way of life.
Second, despite the many online resources for researching and documenting the lives of these ancestors, some records require an in-person visit hundreds of miles away or half-way around the globe.
Third, as we exit the COVID pandemic which prohibited most travel, more and more family historians are willing to attend genealogy conferences in-person rather than virtually.
Fourth, even if we’ve documented every aspect of an ancestor’s life, there is something to be said about walking in the steps of your ancestor in their ancestral land. Heritage travel is an increasingly popular way to amplify your genealogy research.
In this guide, you will find a comprehensive – but not complete – road map on how to plan a successful genealogy trip. Whether it is simply experiencing the homeland of an ancestor or gathering records and evidence for research, the process I’ve laid out can help increase the odds that you’ll not only find success, but actually ENJOY the trip itself!
Amazon Black Friday Free Genealogy Ebooks: The Genealogy Do-Over Workbook
Back in December 2014, I made a big announcement online and in social media: Genealogy and I are parting ways. Done. Finished. Game over.
Have you ever said to yourself, “That’s it! I’ve had it and it just isn’t worth it anymore!” Well, have you? Sort of like the character Howard Beale in the movie Network when he says, live on air, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” By the end of 2014, after more than 25 years of researching my own family history, that is how I felt.
My Past Genealogy Research Frustrates Me! While many who read my post thought that I was leaving the genealogy community or closing down my genealogy business, I had to clarify what I meant by “leaving:” Starting in 2015, I planned on setting my 20+ years of genealogy research aside and starting over. From scratch.
Seriously. How many times have you thought about doing the same thing? Did you start your research the same way I did, by just collecting names, grabbing stuff from other online trees, or pasting text into your genealogy software? Lately, has the prospect of going back and citing sources or proving facts and evidence brought you down and ruined your genealogy buzz? Do you throw up your hands and say, “I give up!” only to return to the same review and edit process days or weeks later?
If you are like me, you need a genealogy makeover. Better yet, a Genealogy Do-Over. That is what I decided to call the journey upon which I embarked in early 2015. Now I want you to come along.

About the Author: Thomas MacEntee
So, what if I told you that a Baby Boomer guy with a love of punk rock music but also Renaissance Art, somehow “fell” into the technology industry almost 40 years ago, and then left a lucrative career in information technology to pursue his love of family history and genealogy?
And that his passion for tracing his roots began over 45 years ago when he was watching the mini-series Roots on ABC Television at his great-grandparents’ house in February 1977?
While some might think these two elements – technology and historical research – are opposites. The truth is, “tech people” like Thomas are needed to guide today’s genealogists through the maze of options so they can deploy the best apps and devices as they break down those research brick walls.
Having taught over 1,000 in-person and virtual genealogy lectures since 2010, serving on the boards of many genealogical societies, organizing a group of over 1,000 genealogy bloggers, and helping researchers save money on genealogy products and services, Thomas is ready for the next chapter in his professional journey: changing the way genealogists acquire new research skills, motivating researchers to take a chance on new technologies, and improving how family stories and heirlooms are preserved and passed on to the next generations.
Thomas MacEntee: author, educator, student, advocate, marketer, storyteller, entrepreneur, and that “genealogy guy” who helps you accomplish your family history goals.
