Anybody have some free time on Wednesday to give me a hand with an idea and receive a free research guide for your time?

I'm going to be having a sale over Black Friday/Cyber Monday and I'm looking for 5-6 volunteers who have purchased my research guides and have a story to tell about how it helped them in their research.

What you would need to do:
Do a 5-10 minute Zoom call with me on Wednesday that I would record and post as a reel. You'd only need to tell me which guide helped you and how it helped you. It would be 1-3 minutes.

To thank you for your time, you could let me know one of my research guides you don't already have and I'll send it to you for free.

Email me at theformidablegenealogist@gmail.com to apply. Thanks!

I've started working on my next research guide, which will be solely about the FamilySearch Catalog. Volume 1 is about searching indexed records and was released 14 November. Volume 3 is about Full-Text Search and I released it last June.

While I'm still in the outline phase of this guide, please tell me in the comments what you want to know about the FamilySearch Catalog to help me see what would be most useful to include.

I see that RootsIreland has a special for 25% off a subscription. I've only occasionally done 24 hour subscriptions with them in the past on individual client cases. For those of you who have used this service, do you find it worthwhile and that there are records there you're not finding elsewhere online?

I typically use Irish Genealogy, FamilySearch, PRONI, Irish National Archives and Find My Past for most of my client cases with Irish origins.

Over 1200 sold! I'm getting such amazing feedback on this guide that I launched 1 week ago.

Though the launch sale is over, I'm going to leave it at a discount through November 25th. Expect my next FamilySearch guide in early December.
