Hi. Russell Yost here. I’ve always believed in transparency on the web and so I am disclosing that I’ve included certain products and links to those products on this site that I will earn an affiliate commission for any purchases you make. My goal with the blog is to help educate you in American History and Genealogy and appreciate all who visit the website. Any affiliate link that I place on a page is a product that I also use and highly recommend.
The affiliate programs that I am a part of include:
Ancestry.com, Fold3.com, Newspapers.com, and Amazon.com.
I personally use Ancestry (Fold3 and Newspapers.com are owned by Ancestry) for my family tree research and have for many years. I have an active subscription that I pay for monthly. Ancestry has not paid me to endorse their products nor do they give me a free subscription as a trade-off. I do it because I like their service.
I use Amazon.com as a means to link to books that I recommend for the different subjects. The books or products that I link to on Amazon I have personally used or have been highly recommended by someone I trust. I do not place random links about random products within my website.
I hope everyone enjoys the website and find what they need.
Thanks Guys,
Russell Yost
