Has anyone in McDuffie Co. come across listings of Bible records published in FAMILY PUZZLERS, the weekly genealogy magazine edited by Mary
Bondurant Warren from 1964 until 1998? I thought that HERITAGE PAPERS went out of business when Mrs. Warren stopped publishing Puzzlers the end of 1998.
Not so!! I recently found the new websites for HERITAGE PAPERS as well as for FAMILY PUZZLERS, TNG, the monthly magazine edited by Mrs. Warren's
daughter Amy Warren Sanders! Most of the items that Heritage Papers used to advertise in their annual catalog are still available, including back
issues of the quarterly magazines GEORGIA GENEALOGIST and CAROLINA GENEALOGIST, lots of historic maps, as well as source materials for
Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. Some bound volumes of Family Puzzlers are still available.
For Heritage Papers, go to http://www.galaxymall.com/books/heritagepapers.
For Family Puzzlers, The Next Generation, go to http://www.galaxymall.com/books/familypuzzlers.
I just thought you'd like to know, I did!!
