IN THIS EDITION
FROM THE EDITOR Last week at a volunteer event, I asked a guy about an interesting-looking tattoo covering his wrist. He proudly explained that the design was his family crest.
I thought it best to keep my mouth shut about all the reasons why that coat of arms might not be genuine—or his to wear. But contributing editor Sharon DeBartolo Carmack speaks up on heraldry myths in our newest Family Tree Magazine podcast.
We've also just released our 2009 list of 101 Best Web Sites for genealogy; you can link to them below. And there's plenty of other news about Ancestry.com, online historical newspapers and more—so dig in! —Diane Haddad, Newsletter Editor
