-Hello and a big warm welcome to one and all,
+Family Tree Forum opened its doors in September 2006. Since then it has grown into a comprehensive Family History resource.
-Today we launch a brand new venture for Family Tree Forum in the shape of our very own magazine. It is a chance for you to find out a little bit more about the research of your fellow members and to share in these interesting snapshots of their family tree.
-As we approach our first anniversary we would like to thank all site members for helping to make Family Tree Forum such a success. Who would ever have imagined that on one September day last year a small band of genealogists looking for a new home would lead us to this. It is a credit to everyone involved behind the scenes and to all of you that the site goes from strength to strength. Our doors are now open to all and we are welcoming new members every day.
+It combines a discussion forum, where members share information to help with research, and a Reference Library. In addition, the online magazine gives members a chance to share their family stories.
-By now we hope you have all had a chance to have a look around the Wiki which is a fantastic resource for all genealogists. It is something that can only get better as you all now have the chance to add to it and help it grow. Along with this the looker-uppers and problem solvers on Research Advice have been helping to breakdown brickwalls all over the place so if you have a puzzle of your own waiting to be solved get posting.
-Finally, if you have a favourite story from your family tree, a tale of a success, how you bashed down a brickwall or anything you have the urge to share with your fellow members then we would love to include it in our next magazine so do get in touch.
+Becoming a Family Tree Forum member gives you access to member-only boards and the ability to add your knowledge to the Family Tree Forum wiki. There is no fee charged for becoming a member.
