Genealogy Today Releases 20,000 Names on Independence Day

Genealogy Today (www.genealogytoday.com) announced that over twenty thousand additional names were added on July 4th to the Family Tree Connection database, a subscription service offering researchers access to unique family history information.

"Our data entry team worked exceptionally hard last month to transcribe all of these resources," explained Illya D'Addezio, owner of Genealogy Today. "This database project continues to see steady growth of information from unique groups like the horse thief detecting societies."

The names released today were transcribed from the following resources:

All of the data is carefully transcribed and each resource (including page number) is displayed along with the names to ensure that researchers can accurately record the source of the information. Subscribers (and non-subscribers as well) can efficiently filter the updates with a free service called Surname Tracker that sends an email whenever information matching their surnames is added.

Annual subscriptions offer unlimited access to the Family Tree Connection database, along with a 5% discount on all purchases in The Marketplace at Genealogy Today. The regular price for a one-year subscription is $29.95 with discounts for 24 and 36 month subscriptions. Visitors may sample the database risk-free by using the index search to see if there are any possible matches before they subscribe.
