A Trio of Trophies: S&N Genealogy Supplies
Best Online Store
With YFT Awards for Best Storage Products and Best Data CD Publisher (see right), it's not suprising that the online portal from which you can buy these products completes a trio of trophies for S&N Genealogy Supplies.
A veritable online supermarket for genealogists, www.genealogysupplies.com caters for all your research needs. The site boasts an unbeatable range of data CDs that cover every period and subject; folders, binders and pockets for storing your research safely and attractively; books and DVDs to supplement your investigations; charts to present your research; and last but not least, S&N's own excellent genealogy software RootsMagic.
In fact, one of the only things the site doesn't have is a warning sign to prevent you from spending too much of your money there! Easy to use and navigate, this is the place to shop online.
Best Data CD Publisher
Despite the excellent products put into the market by local societies and knowledgable enthusiasts, the sheer scale and variety of data CDs from S&N Genealogy puts it head and shoulders above the rest. As a result, it has scooped this year's YFT Award with over half your votes.
S&N's catalogue includes broad subjects such as Army lists, wills and directories, and specific interests like school registers and businesses records with every part of the country and further afield over the best part of 800 years covered, there's something for every researcher to get their teeth stuck into. What's more, every CD is fully searchable, making light work of the reams of data on each.
In particular, 2009 saw some superb discs on the London Regiment of the Royal Fusiliers in World War I and a stunning collection of trade and post office directories from every corner of Britain.
Best Storage Products
The genealogical giant that is S&N Genealogy Supplies (the same family-run business also looks after TheGenealogist), was a clear winner in this category. Its quality, specialist family history binders stole the show - it's clear that you're all big fans.
As well as an impressive catalogue of data CDs, family history software packages and books, S&N's excellent online shop (which is a winner, too, see left) stocks a huge range of A3 and A4 binders and albums, as well as acid-free cards, dividers and inert archival sleeves. The sheer variety of products on offer gives you scope to create your own family history filing system to safely store your research documents, certificates, photos, notes and much more.
The binders are padded and strengthened to give your treasured work that extra bit of protection, and they come with a lifetime guarantee, too - what's not to love?
