George announces RootsMagic's new software product, Family Atlas, and its introductory price (www.familyatlas.com/introspecial.htm). Drew interviews professional genealogist Linda Woodward Geiger, where they talk about things to avoid when creating genealogy websites, what goes on in a state chapter meeting of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the fun of "ancestor roadshows" at state and national conferences, and the Regional In-depth Genealogical Studies Alliance (www.rigsalliance.org). Finally, George and Drew discuss the importance of geography in genealogical research, and suggest a number of books as well as online historical map collections (the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection at www.davidrumsey.com, and the Perry-Castaneda Library Map Collection, UT-Austin at www.lib.utexas.edu/maps).
