WDYTYA Magazine Index Pt 1

This is not really a Blog Post as such, Its Part 1 of a LONG Index, I am compiling this Index purely for my own use, as it drives me crazy trying to remember which Issue of the Who Do You Think You Are magazine I saw a particular subject covered in.
I only buy the one Magazine because it was this Program & the 1st Book that OH bought me that got me started on my Tree.
I love my Magazine arriving every month, and wouldn’t swap it for anything. So I thought that maybe some more of you feel the same as me, so I thought I would share this.
It is not a totally full list of everything by any means, but it does list the major articles and subjects, I will just index 12 issues at a time, because otherwise it might stretch right down the road !! Let me know if I have made any errors and I will correct, thanks.
I hope you should be able to just copy & paste this article, then be able to print out to keep with your magazines. Thats what I’m doing.

  1. Hi Lynn, I subscribe to this magazine and it is fascinating, but very frustrating when you can remember reading something but cant remember which issue it was in.

  3. Martin 17 May 2012 16.55 I have just read the latest magazine and like many other readers have been so frustrated that I could not remember if an article had been written about a certain subject. I have often been tempted to write an index but it would have driven me to distraction. I have always wondered if WDYTYA would have produced a separate magazine in index format but I don't think any of the Family History mags.do.
    Congratulations Lynn on tackling such a project and for sharing it with us.
