Five New Book Titles
We just added 5 new titles to our ever-growing list, for counties in Florida, Indiana,
Michigan, and Texas.
Check them out at www.arphax.com.
If you missed the last couple of updates we mailed in December and February, you may
want to peruse our archived home pages that showed off the many titles we released in those months. Here are the "former" home-pages that announced many new books: December (40 new titles released) and February (6 new titles).
Map Software in Your Future?
Okay, we are going to use restraint here and not carry on too much, but the development of our upcoming map software application is going really well and we just had to say something.
We're not going to go into the dozens of features to be included--at least not just yet. We'll save that little brag-list for another newsletter in the near future. We will only say that the breadth of geography covered is going to be MUCH LARGER than represented in our current offerings. And we'll also say that our original focus will NOT be to provide digital versions of our printed work.
Our first-focus will be on providing tools that either cover areas currently not being addressed (Colonial states, for instance), cover time-periods not addressed by our books (non-original purchasers), or compliments our printed works with other means for geographical analysis. We'll cover more on this topic in future newsletters, but for now, just be assured that the value of your investment in our Family Maps and Texas Land Survey Maps books is and will forever remain a safe bet. (If you only knew how much we're investing in our print-production facilities, you'd KNOW this is true).
Can You Be Involved in our Map Software? -- Please do!
Here's a short 6-question Map-Software Survey that takes about a minute to complete. Your answers may affect the future of genealogical and historical map research. How's that for a motivation?
If the link above doesn't work, then copy and paste this URL into your browser's address box:

Of course, if you have more to say on the subject of Desktop Map Software than can be conveyed in our survey, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your thoughts to us at info@arphax.com. Greg Boyd will read all emails received and, if we can get him out of his map-making and software-development "cave" long enough, he'll be sure to respond to your feedback if you choose:)

Travel Schedule (Update)
Last month, we reported a tentative travel schedule for 2010. Here's an update:
Burbank, California - June 11-13 - 41st Annual Southern California Genealogy Jamboree. We may have provided a bad link last time--that's been fixed. Here's where you can learn more about one of the fastest-growing conferences out there: http://scgsgenealogy.com/2010jam-home.htm
Knoxville, Tennessee - August 18-21 - Federation of Genealogical Societies Annual Conference. We can http://www.fgs.org/2010conference/index.php
Little Rock, Arkansas - (November 5-6) - Arkansas Genealogical Society, Annual Conference.
There is still a slim hope that we can make a last-minute dash to the National Genealogical Society's 2010 Family History Conference in Salt Lake City from April 28th-May 1st. Several factors beyond our control will have to fall into place, and we hope that's the case, because we "Love our NGS!". Check out this awesome conference at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/cs/conference_info.
Easy NEW Way to Receive these Newsletters
By virtue of having received this newsletter, you don't need to do a thing to continue to do so---at least not for now. But in the future, if you forget to contact us when you change email addresses, you can easily use one of the several new "Sign-Up Now" buttons or forms scattered around our web-site. It will only ask for first and last names and an email address. And for our subscribers' safety, sign-ups are sent a "confirming" email that must be returned in order to make our list.
PLEASE encourage your research-buddies to utilize this simple way to stay informed of upcoming tools from one of the fastest-growing and critically-acclaimed collections of research tools available to historians and genealogists.
There's a Sign-Up button right on our home-page (www.arphax.com) and another form on our Contact Us page.
That's it for this month. Thanks again for your wonderful support and we look forward to seeing you out on the research trail!
