Remember getting catalogs from Genealogical Publishing Company (based in Baltmore, Maryland)? I sure do..... sometimes I did order a book but more often I made note of a book pertinent to my research and would look for it next time at a big library. Maybe you did that too? 
Well, GPC has morphed into My GPC Library and comes offering books to you in a brand new format: digitally. Click to www.genealogical.com to get all the info. But, bottom line, you'll have access to 800 books for a yearly subscription of $135, or for six months for $75, or for three months for $45. (What a great idea for our long winter days, no?)
Before you read on, here's a warm fuzzy for you from EWGS member Rosemary Braun. She has a granddaughter born when her parents were in South America, and was named Xochitl....... "so-CHEE." The name is Mayan and means "beautiful flower." Rosemary assures us that she loves her name.
